Broken mask of the heavenmother

Sifting through the scree of the sundered idols

For a piece of debris with the missing portions of the queen’s visage

Searching for her all-seeing eyes

She has thighs tattooed: an ibex and her sacred tree

Her graven vagina splayed, as if that repose conveyed fertility

Likely of tripartite nature, forming the second of a divine trinity.
