Goddesses of Sirenuse

Goddesses of Sirenuse

A Poem by Kat Bishop

I hear your songs at night 
They harmonise with the sailor's screams
A sound that warms my heart

He knocked on my door at the crack of dawn 
He danced in my garden
I asked him not
But still he danced 
Till my flowers were but a crimson dye 

The women in my village say 
The garden was never real 
But I see the wounds where 
the thorns pierced 

The neighbours said I stood still
not a sound escaped my mouth 
But when the lights die and the shadows dance 
I hear the screams of my garden

Goddesses of Sirenuse 
He screams as you steal what he stole from me
And you sing in delight
A song that quiets the screams of what once was
