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
