God is a Woman

poems by Evany Martinez

God is a Woman

God is a Womxn.
You can't tell me any different.
Tectonic plates in our hips shifting.
Birthed an ungrateful nation.
Flowers killing seeds.

Don't Mess With Fire

Every witch you burned at
the stake lives within me.
I hear them scream so
loud my body trembles.
Together we will shake
the Earth and you will
regret the day you
learned what fire was.

•

Six Crows

Six crows circle my body.
Looking for a spirit to inhibit
but they cannot make a home
out of silent dreams and bone
fragments. I am intangible.
Even in death.
