Poem

I bring you into world Not from kissy beginnings Or caresses When all the finger wants Is to drop the dress I bring you into world Not from smooth metaphors Seducing senses and ears Hollow with loneliness Longing to breed the flesh I bring you into the world Naked of knives Barren of guns and bombs Shivering in verbs Too pale for the meaning of the eyes I bring you in the world Like a new brand morning With all the baggage of history Broken shouldered, limping Full of rage for liberation I bring you into the world Beginner of the battle Bringer of the brave Tsunami and pebble of the wave Make sand castles fall Whip the rock to grain again
