The Womb


A life without fear, with umbilical joy
and the infinite promise
a mother knows, guesses, cannot know.

A speechless angel, magnified to flesh,
pure, a servant of impossibility
already blindly seeking a destiny.

For what soul rejects an invitation to belief?
To what end has a father come?

In the vast black nothing
contained in the sexual act
Shakespeare and Olivier are called John

and in the birth a boy sails toward
a harbour all define by time
but oh, oh, the cusp of waves.
