Ode to MOTHER                                                                             Which illuminates us all.
                Francesca Simonelli                                                                       Show me those parts
                                                                                                          And pieces of yourself
                Show me the grace within you that heals the wounded,                                      Whose brokenness has transformed
                That inspires the despairing,                                                             You into a perfect kind of completion
                That awakens those who would rather die                                                   And yet that still has you growing,
                Than live another day enslaved                                                            Evolving
                By the lies of misguided human culture.                                                   Into entirely new forms of divinity
                Do not show me the face                                                                   Every day.
                And body parts
                That you have used to manipulate                                                          Show me the bats
                And shame others.                                                                         Dangling from the caves of your soul
                Withdraw your shining,                                                                    And the deadly spiders
                Wily sword that you use to entice,                                                        That crawl from your womb.
                Then slice                                                                                Show me the entangled webs
                Off the heads of those                                                                    Of your dreams
                Who come too close.                                                                       And the ghost town within your torso.
                Show me the rain forest that thrives between your                                         Show me the blazing
                Thighs,                                                                                   And flaming inferno in your carcass
                The jungle that encircles your waist,                                                     As you burn yourself back to life.
                Whose vines envelop your hips.                                                            Show me how you can rise from the dead,
                Show me the trellis of glory                                                              Cast love spells
                That is unseen to the naked eye.                                                          That set us all free.
                Show me the sultry truth of our own divine mother                                         Demonstrate your ability to channel miracles
                That dances its way through                                                               As you transform your chaos into
                Your every move.                                                                          Absolute order and beauty.
                                                                                                          Screech for me
                Show me the true Goddess who has the power,                                               From the primitive places
                Wisdom,                                                                                   That have been abandoned and forgotten,
                Compassion                                                                                Reveal to me the primal scream
                And strength to heal the whole world.                                                     That will set you free.
                Show me the holy gift of your sacred heart.
                The part of you that is the whole,
