COR LUCIS LAMEN
Life Spirals in Fibonacci Rhythms
Reoccurring Nightmares 6/29/99
By Soror I.T.L.

Long ago

I was Little Red Riding Hood.

Gasping for breath,
night after night.

I was trying to outrun the shadows
that pursued me through
the nightmarish terrain of my dreams.

My hooded cape was as red
as the blood spilt when
I aborted my baby.
As the wine I drank to forget
my sorrow and her beautiful face.

My hooded cape was
as red as the menstrual blood
that now reminds me
I am a woman.
Although if you turned me inside out
you'd see my eggs festering
and a vacant womb.

Once, a very long time ago
I was a different Little Red Riding Hood
gasping for my first breath.
My hooded cape was made of
my motherís rusty blood.
I'm told I was a difficult birth.
I am a difficult birth,
uncurling from my fetal position to
spin through midnight red amniotic fluids.
To stretch through the
dawn-splashed red shadows.
It's time to taste the magical life-red
waters of my soul.
