Prophet’s Knife by Dah

Space will not melt

into something more

this is all we have

a colorless juju

 

Salt of soil is delivered from

the sweat of birthing women

Jugs of thighs pouring forth

from dust

living constellations

 

Upon this earth

human stars rot

Each of us an offering

unbalanced, teetering

It started in Genesis

 

a prophet’s knife

cut the bone

and sliced the marrow

there was light

only for darkness to be

the contradiction
