Ghairo Daniels Poet Bio

I BIRTHED ALONE

I BIRTHED ALONE

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 circles of protection

Descent spiralled into eardrums
eyeballs, silently swirling spun
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  
sticky cord beneath Acacia 
understood an elixir of truth 
your departure 
into shadows 
You were gone

I birthed alone
