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 ©GhairoDanielsPoetry1997
