"Her Dark Face"––poem by Dorothy 




HER DARK FACE

You want to know about the goddess?
She will come into your life, stealthily,
 or else like an explosion of flame from a great forest fire.

You will be torn to bits, to pieces of love,
of imagining,
of grasping
and moaning.

She will rend you
piece by piece,
until you cry out with rapture,
until you cry for mercy
of forgiveness,
satiety of
joy.

You will dance with her night after night,
never knowing who she is,
who you are,
where you came from,
where you are going.

Always, her dark face before you.

Dorothy Walters
