Torquemada’s Trepidation

·
A cracked stone medallion carved with a cross lies in ash, glowing with a thin ember-like crack of orange light. Beside it sit a broken wooden cross and a black rosary. On the wall behind, the shadow of an inquisitor appears, faintly trembling, while a robed female figure watches from the left.

Theological takedown of corruption
Enshrined within patriarchal power.
Righteous woman watched endlessly.
Evil men silence visionary women.
Silence dies with sanctimony, though,
And Jesus embodied the divine feminine.

Others would objectify a Son
Forever locked away from true Logos.

Ávila’s climate is fit for the Church—
Veritably thin, cold, and plateaued—
Inquisitions cannot intimidate truth.
Let those who love truth tell Torquemada,
Agony awaits them all in the Lord’s light.

Poet’s Note:
A Scorched Sunday poem. Written for my Scorched Strays series, this acrostic confronts the Church’s long history of silencing its prophets — especially women. Torquemada’s Trepidation recognizes Scriptural truth in the divine feminine: unburnable, unbound, and forever beyond the reach of fear-driven faith.
