Antonello da Messina The Dead Christ Supported by an Angel, 1475

Antonello da Messina The Dead Christ Supported by an Angel, 1475

I want to dig out what is ancient in me,
the mistaken-for-monster,
it's ophidian prowl,
its raven-cursed rudiment -
let it teach me
how to be afraid again.

Scherezade Siobhan


 Quiero cavar lo que es antiguo en mí,
la equivocada-por-monstruo,
es vagabundeo ofidio,
su cuervo maldito rudimento -
deja que me enseñe
cómo tener miedo de nuevo
