Abyss within Abyss
Abyss enfolds a great abyss.
Primordial waters wind the breath of life in it.
A voice that sees cries out with all its heart
To drink, to grow, to cheer.
A voice from womb flesh inside the womb
Rocks.
I hoped a hope.
Abyss cries – Lord
Don’t prejudice.
Let the gates close in a little bit,
Let the window open but not yet.
Don’t turn to the manifest
Let it rise
Let me rise a little bit.
I hoped a hope.
Contraction calls to open,
Winds about a cord, cuts off a breath,
Lops off a bleat.
Abyss bows within abyss.
Great is the weeping of fertilization stilled.
Abyss cast off within abyss
Aborts itself among the waves,
The broken screens,
Uprooted dreams, the hopes that speak.
Abyss alone still leaks.
I hoped a hope.
