I imagined you

At the origin of the world

Watching and waiting with weary eyes

For your world to be changed

Boy of bloodied birth no longer

But man of womb and flesh revealed,

Did you cry and crumble

At the spot where Nature’s love was sealed?

As you gaze upon your own

Bloodiness, father of the child that you were

Picturing a new innocence

As Life seeps out in a blur…
