Birth
by truthtramp
i slept and i woke
i slept and then awoke
to what was different
new
i slept then awoke to
streams of liquid dreaming
flowing true
mingling
skin we’re in
the convergence
of grit
the emergence
of twisted limbs
covered in different coloured skins
stretched taught
stretched thin
bones
go in
come out
through
layers of
me
layers of you
smoke
drifting
inhaling
out then in
out then in
rips through
pink lungs
so tender
or bruised
black
then tarred
or scared
but can heal
beyond
smoke drifts in
to my skull
in then out
through within
spirit
flowing
up then down
movement
grinding around
molecules
bursting
beaming
out through
swirling
skulls and skin
flesh covered
grit
healed
pink and delicate
behind splintered ribs
beating
beating
beating
stars
into rhythm
beating
stars
into being
then you reached through
reached out
and you held me in
for the first time
and you held me
like it was supposed to be
cradled in your womb
before it was
black and bruised
the light beamed through
you reached in
and pulled me out
me down
to take me up
with you
with you
with you
i can not lose
