Body Emerging
Digital Collage and Poem
Body Emerging, soul from the earth
oozing and wheezing, struggling towards birth
Genius unfolding, arousing, uncouth
awfully breaching and reaching towards truth
Blind with eyes open, sensory thirst
engaging and raging a race to be first
Fingertips opening, pulse redefining
organs like factory machines start to whining
Compelling novice, artfully sucking
succulence slippery soons turns to fucking
Lustfully grasping, incendiary prancing
caressing and teasing the mother lies gasping
Sculpting, assimilating time and again
over and over our bodies begin
Through the grace of our nature the nature of grace
allowing our presence to grow unerased
What dreams will be seized, what scars do we leave
to the mother the father that give our life ease
Body Emerging, gift of the ages
weaving and scheming a world full of mages
