La Papessa

I read it from my little golden cards-
Past, present, future.
I offered my soul
and thought
to the pallor of the holy
fingertips.
I drank,
and swayed to the humming (of the honey voice).
Each moon
and sun
I was altar.
I swooned, arched, trembled,
at every
murmur,
bite,
caress.
I ate,
and carved into my flesh.
Into the sun
beyond this place:
spoken of.
Until one dawn
I awoke.
No longer could I move;
I would have wept.
I was corpse.
I was dreaming body.
I was sculpted of stone.
