Descent to Hel 
The oven of Hel’s kitchen, 
Where the staff of life is baked 
In her regeneratively consuming flame, 
Beckons me to enter and to taste her twisted loaf. 
Never overdone nor under— 
This bread of perfecting is 
So delectable that merely one bite 
Emblazons the eyes, 
Enraptures the countenance, and 
Elucidates my Self! 
Such bliss to be enfolded in Hel’s warm embrace, 
To be engulfed in the Maternal abundance 
And to drink from her breast 
The spark of life 
That will one day intensely burn 
As the creative fire, 
Born and reborn 
Of Woman. 
(C) 14 October 1994, Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw.
