Now that the trail has gone cold
15 November 2015
.
In the beginning
Time washed me on empty shores
Shell of air that hung
.
She breathed me Fire
Mother wove me from her womb
Golden thread for stars
.
She covered me clay
Rising tides her Oceans spent
Nights on my dark hair
.
.
She swelled me tremors
Beating Heart she raised me high
Tidal waves my blood
.
.
She kneaded me bread
The black and the white she joined
Every mouth to feed
.
I wake in her ice
Now that the trail has gone cold
Heart follows her scent
.
Only my Mother
Scent of Jasmine knew her feet
Ambrosian Life
.
