Maimed Deity
maimed deity
singed arteries
transformation
fallen angel
mother
nurturing veins
tears and milk
flow generously
a love tithe
starved
concern, adoration
circumvented
diverted to
omission liars
gobbled-up by
faux heavenly
bodies
the divine heals
herself and her children
but first confession
revelation
surrender
soothing
life
breathed
into mortals
a silver ribbon
carbon nano-particles
helices and thoughts
all one, only differentiated
connected
she cannot soothe
herself without
severing circuits
the flow of tears
milk and thought
stopping creation
soothe the mother

I needed to look up the meaning of maimed.
Even before that I asked myself what is the message of your poem? What image do you want us to see? What emotions to stir?
Or was I overthinking it and the gist of it is just to be?
Anyways, is there hope in the end, even for maimed?

Thank you, Ervin. I think the overall message is to love and take care of those and that which takes care of us. But there may be other meanings only our subconscious understands. I work in metaphor; so each of us will intepret the meaning differently. What is your interpretation?
Fair question !LOLZ
Turning time back, when I started reading it I also started looking for a pattern. I got an impression that lines in stanzas are aligned, that there are parallel stories converging and amplifying the message.
Overthinking again :)
Love and care for your offspring, yes. But still there is pain and loss and trying to gap the chasm and maybe not being able to do it.
Earlier, while falling down another YouTube rabbit hole, this song surfaced:
Fitting? In an awkward counterproductive way?
take care
