Entry: Brother, Mother, Sister, Son Thursday, October 18, 2007



The maiden pouring out wine called me her brother
Then led me to the man she called her son
And told me, tomorrow, she'd be my mother

When I brought the blood to cover
The footsteps from where I'd come
The maiden pouring out wine called me her brother

And when I brought the wounds I'd given another
Though I had beat him guilt for what I had done
She told me, tomorrow, she'd be my mother

When the woman of webs asked if I'd be her lover
And I told her that such things were over and done
The maiden pouring out wine called me her brother

The virgin asked why I'd spurned the web-woman's bed covers
I said I wouldn't do in shadow what I would do in sun
She told me, tomorrow, she'd be my mother

When she showed me a path I hadn't discovered
And after a century had only begun,
The maiden pouring out wine called me her brother
And told me, tomorrow, she'd be my mother
