Erupt

Words are embedded in limitations
like fossils in rock
laid down together in a particular age.

LORD for example,
buried whole in feudalism.
Doting vassals, landed gentry
models for dual figures—
worshipper and worshipped—
a horror no one notices.
Brains are hardened in word molds.

GODDESS for another.
Who can say GODDESS without creating
this female humanoid mind being?
GOD only affixes the other genitalia.

                    Let us now
      erupt
            experience the complexity of
all that is
                    to the intensity of molten lava
      no form can hold.
