This is your home.
It has been for a while now.
[[You]] and [[your partner]] decided to name it [[Sappho's Garden]].You are a starry eyed young woman, with [[moss growing on your brain stem]] and [[a creek running through your heart.]]
You feel as if you are not of this earth, yet are simultaneously rooted to it.
Your body is a synagouge, your desires a [[Torah]].Beautiful cannot describe them.
They are [[petrichor]], they are [[a circle of toadstools in a lush clearing]], they are [[a cooling breeze.]]
[[They built this life with you.->intro]]It started as a [[whimper.]]Locked away in an elaborate structure, painstakingly crafted, [[not to be touched by human hands->intro]].[[the smell of earth after rain->your partner]] [[where the fae reside->your partner]] [[carrying the scent of a warm hearth on its tendrils->your partner]] creeping slowly
[[a carpet for you to rest your weary mind->You]] [[at once both a scar and a giver of life->You]] [[An abandoned cottage in the woods.]]
It called to you to care for it as a child cries for its [[mother]].all your life you have been called to mother
it is woven into the fabric of your existence
always mothering, [[tending the cracked soil->whimper.]] of your heart that yearns to be mothered [[as you once were]]You visit your mother often.
Yearning to climb into her lap and feel her warmth envelop you once more.
Lying your head upon her knee, she strokes your hair with weathered fingers.
[[its not the same. it never will be.->mother]]you poured your soul into [[it]]

You feed them, give them a bed
[[Sappho's garden grows.]]end[[they are strangers, yet you are intrinsically linked->it is the home of abraham and sarah now]] a land of [[opression->it is the home of abraham and sarah now]]
where they are set upon by hordes
where their bodies are defiled
where their skin is seen as [[טָמֵא]][[unclean, impure, dirty->a strange land]]
