I AM EVA

I am Eva
Horn'd am I, a demon-saint
with plates of heavy armor
Which bind my mind and flesh.

I am Eva
Twice-eyed, a horrid and beautiful thing
Crimson like the messenger's blood
which I spill with much thunder.

I am Eva
Solemn observer of this blue sphere
The emptiness of time and man
reflected in my eye, a soulless thing.

I am Eva
Overcome by the great plan, arms outstretched
I move like a dark marionette, hands grasping
Only to have my flesh strewn over the hills.

I am Eva
White as a flittering ghost-whisper
A spirit condemned to nothingness
A mere haunt of an unstable memory.

We are Eva
Many as one, driven by he
who came cloaked in the hide of a boy-child
We are savage winged beauties, cannibals of our kind.

I am Eva
We are Eva
Daughters of the Night-woman
Sons of the Red Earth
We are the thrones of the soul
Damned like sinners, blessed like martyrs.

We are Eva
We are instruments of the wretched
Break our souls
(Our soul)

and you

shall break

as well.
