When you look at me I feel the winds of the rapture lifting me up Oh, I am a sinner, rabid, manic, unholy but I will fall on my knees for you. I have boiled my wings and produced sweet nectar for us to share in anointing ourselves. We shimmer like mermaids dancing in parallel through the sky. There is a reason why sirens are women and the earth is a mother, not the kind who is cold and vain but the kind who provides. The kind who gives us teeth to make a last stand when backed into a corner by howling voices of hate, and teeth to devour each other before time devours us all.
