10 Chicchan
Red Planetary
Serpent
As she melts upon my
Tongue
I swallow down the
full Moon whole
She settles in my Belly
while
I drink the Wine of
Kingdom come
She takes a silver Ride
inside
Where Flesh had been
until
The Promise of a Woman’s
Life
Fell beneath a surgeon’s
Knife
Scalpel cut the
Sinew and the Nerve
Creating Space
anew---
My Womb is in the
Tomb
But even more is in
its Place
My progeny are Prose
and Poetry
Conceived in the
Soul by Night---
Infants unnumbered
are borne
On glistening Beams
of blue Light.
