12/9/20

nightmare



stirred
in late night womb

umbilical venom
  tainted at the source
  of dream
burning within

spiraling fall
from red to black,
  the tarred heart

translucent prison
of body,
leak of fear -
the unsealed fontanelle

  where is my savior,
  the radiant hands
  that proffer salvation

begging for a beat,
the stillborn arrives
in a mess of birth

and mourning sun
