Mother

 

 There is a hole,               

                a big hole,                          

                               in the clouds 

                               that covers the sky                           

                               that lays on top of me.               

                A gaping hole,               

                like an open mouth,               

                like a vulva,               

                ready to devour me,                     

                          to suck me back                     

                          into the very womb                     

                          that gave me birth.               

                A mother that misses me,                             

                                         longs for me,                                          

                                                            to return                               

                                           back in time                       

                            to the beginning,         

        to nothingness. 

 

Oh Mother,           

                  yearn no more.   

     I am on my way.   

     I am halfway there.

Can’t you see              

                   my head                     

                            sticking                             

                                    above                                  

                                          the clouds?
