Protection

Cthonic Mother
who art Hekate, Trivia, the Morrigan
Protect my mother G T J
Now named W, though she has been still this year
formerly H
and having unknown aliases and akas
Keep her far from the still
for alcohol is killing her
Protect her from the men who've loved her
for they have loved her wrongly
her father and her brothers
her husbands and her lovers
Save her from herself
and all the self-harm she wills
Never let her again serve sub
serviant - as operator, card-dealer, cashier
Let her again find her world
enjoyable
by the impertinent behavior of kittnes
named after 80s pop songs
May neither Gulf nor Atlantic hurricane
wash away her home
at the F W R facility
and may none of her pasts -
Louisiana, Nevada, or Florida again -
disturb her healthful recovery,
and turn her towards the light.
and let her daughters heal
from wounds she wrought
and let herself heal
from wounds her mother wrought
And may the curses on her line
be lifted
And may the tares from the grain
be sifted
And the tears between her family
no longer rifted
Cthonic mother seal the rifts
Earth Goddesses heal earthquakes
Dark ladies turn the fates
Let good intentions pave the way -
not to hell, but to grace.
