Erica Jong, ed. by Kate Rogers and Viki Holmes, from Not a Muse: The Inner Lives of Women: A World Poetry Anthology; "The death of the goddesses"

[Text ID: “A woman punishing herself with her own pain / is a fierce opponent indeed. / It is self against self, dagger to dagger, / blood of her blood, / blood of her daughter, blood of her mother, / her menses, her moon, all pooled together, one crimson sea.”]

knowing you are dreaming of me, knowing we will always be each other's muse, forbidden lover, witch and warlock joined by a filament of flesh lover through the looking glass.
