A Birth
A BIRTH
Twelve hours in velvet dark
I waited for your shaft
to penetrate my channel of desire
birthing purity and long lashes
You came without a doubt
Acacia branches making curtains
their feet digging deep for
numinosity of life
Wisdom of Time feeding a
penetration into waiting moistness
hidden thorns creating
a serpent circle of protection
Descent spiralled into eardrums
eyeballs, silently swirling light
dividing space, minerals
unfolding with Earth’s rhythm
Her sister shed joyful tears
for soft arched feet
whilst pansy petals fell
for dainty fingers curling
As missionary I buried a sticky
cord beneath Acacia
Understood an elixir of truth and
your departure
into shadows
