Transcending Blindness
Warp of human deed
Like the descent of dirt
To the confinement of space of her eye sockets
Transmutes her virginity
To rupture the meat of her curtains
To rape her pristine soul, uproot all virtue
For the blind to awaken from her beauty sleep
An innate blindness healed by age's miraculous interventions
As a bleak truth is ingrained to the fiber of her existence
That perpetual being soars in darkness
In the trappings of mortality, in Eve's constant shadow
As grains of vulnerability were once sowed
Perpetuating to consciences meek, the legacy of Adam's seed
Saddling us with the dirt befouling mother earth
The requiem of a lost divinity
