Volcanic ash brings forth life: 
fertile for green grass,
but I am the obsidian shard
wedged in the slope, sharp
glass cooled too fast.
Heat rushes from me like undulating fog
storming into the ground beneath my high heel.
I poke holes in the growth and laugh.

See the reflection of what you used to be
in my black mirror.

In one breath, a beautiful crystal.
Only use: to be pretty.
In another breath, an arrowhead
tied to my lover's shaft.

My goddess aims us
to fly across oceans
your children cannot swim.
