Anchoress

existence in stasis | perpetual larva in this cell
| shuttered cell of suspended honey | holding
me in its alchemy | anchorhold as coffin and
womb | thickness of words repeating on my
tongue | takes all my willing to push them
forth | push them into meaning from their
patterns | patterns spoken over and over |
pressing like a seal into hot wax | searching
deep to find the nectar | sucking until lips
blister | until my well of devotion is dry |
