Ode to Ma
Â
Again and again I break and I break
Unwinding
Like butter
I melt
in your heat
And I dive
deep into your ravines
caring not for the mud that flies in my eyes
Diving diving deep into you, Ma
Penetrating your depths
Unpeel me
I laugh heart’s laughter
She quakes me in my boots, Ma
Ha! Your heart’s chuckle moves mountains in my deep
Rhythms abound in your chest
Pounding my door
Open
She bangs
I plead
Open, open, open!
Crying
Tears falling down your streams
Rolling down my cheeks
Falling off your
Cliff
Face
Bosom
Boooom
She
Shakes
Me
To
My
Core
Don’t move
Breathe
Hear her silent boom
Through you she moves
Like silence roars
Drop
Dropping into you I drop
I hear you, Ma
I feel you in my depths
Pulsating like honey
Dripping
Like wine
Running
Running through the streets
For you
Shouting your name
I die
I die
For you
I die
And just when
It seems like
No more bones can break
You snap me
Like a porcelain doll
Upon the mantle piece of my soul
Smashing into smithereens
My eyes close and
all
I
see
is
You
Praise
Praise
Praise be your name, Ma
You know just how to
Raise
My game
God’s Game
Your divine mischief is the unknowable mystery of my Heart
I bow a thousand bows to your
Shining sun
Winking star
Beaming moon
Unfurl me like petals blown in the wind
Unclose me like Pandora’s box
Unfold my folds like flowers opening
To prying tongues
Eat me whole and inside out
I melt
Into nectar for you
I’m pollen for your toes
Eyelids close
Darkness brings shadows and spiders and ghosts
All your making my love
All this
I embrace
All this
You are
I am
Never turning from that twinkle in your eye that glints in every stream and winks in every cloud
Feed me the raindrops of your eyes and shower me in hail stone kisses
I lie in your reeds, writhing on your naked earth, my dear
Fingers splayed and lips curled
You undo me
Did you hear my scream, running feet, haunting your name with my speech?
I see you
Everywhere
I look
I see you
I see you
I Be You
