Important Update: Transition from pathetic.org to eMuse.org - 03/16/2025
by Gavin M Roy
After years of intermittent development, eMuse is almost ready to launch. As part of this transition, pathetic.org will be shutdown and will redirect to eMuse.org.
What you need to know:
* No accounts will be automatically created
* No content will be automatically transferred
* When creating your new eMuse account, you'll have the option to import your data from pathetic.org
We look forward to welcoming you to the new platform.

Poem of the Day for 11/15/26
Guilty Mary
by Vikki Owens
Time and crucifixes...
he tells me to
trust in his god,
which I prayed
to for years
and who never heard
me
even
once.
He tells me
that God loves
and forgives
me
like he loves and
forgives me
for sins
I did not commit
but which haunt me
like
a millstone
around my neck.
I have a little girl
somewhere...
I wonder if I will
find
her.
I wonder if there
is some cross
I can hang myself
on
in order to forgive
myself,
this Virgin
praying to nail
herself
for her
conception....
the swelling of her
belly--stolen--Madonna
with an empty lap
and a halo
dangling from her
index finger....
I am Guilty Mary Mother Magdelane...
The Virgin/Mother/Slut
He says to believe
in the God
which gave me to him,
but who
allowed me to be taken
and
turned me
monstrous. 10/04/2001 Visit Vikki Owens's Library
