by the light of the voyeur moon
I bear down, trying to deliver you
from deep within my womb
the bones do not open
we are still one
pushed to the edge
by pain and exhaustion
I watch from the ledge
outside the sterile room
I float above the vessel
my body has become
I am ocean
I am stars
I am life
and you
are my
creation
the bundle
of my heart
delivering unto me
your fluttering form
of sweet elation
between my thighs
you crown lower
appearing with a mass of
chestnut curls
prisms of rainbows
in the crimson veil
you are rooted
and angry
to leave your amber
sea shell home
everyone is screaming
but between you and I
there is utter silence
we are flesh within flesh
we are still one
our heart beats
in perfect
rhythmic unison
I breathe for us both
you resist
and insist
that
you are tethered to the bone
I beseech you
little one,
come to me
come into this light
I do not know how your life will unfold
you are as yet, a story untold
you have a name
love waits for you
I am your mommy
little one
and I will always be your home
the narrow road is the path you seek
push through the jagged
pelvic gates
I will bear this pain for us both
not a moment too soon,
please move swiftly, do not bid us wait!
I am my mother giving birth to me
I am my grandmother giving birth to us.
I am a godess giving birth to the
whole of the mandarin sky
my breath comes gasping
as the pain comes lashing
in sharp angles of fire
and it is you who takes the lead
you slither into place
with an angels divine grace
and slip through the thin
glass membrane
shattering
the walls of barbed wire
setting us free
you tumble like a wildflower
you bounce like a red ball
we are undone
You have PUSHED THROUGH!
we have become one
and one
look at you breathing on your own!
I call your name,
the beautiul sound
makes my captured
heart soar
turning your head
quizzacally
at the lilt of my voice
we have become one/two
no longer do I
think
for
us
and suddenly
I realize
with a heartbreaking start
that your first step
towards me
is also,
your first step
~away from me~
~spreading us~
lifetimes
~apart~
