THE HOMECOMING

The Homecoming

Ahhh....
Hmmmn...
Sweet pain, racing pulses.
Moaning whispers, Heavy breaths...
Lovers leaving the insignia of their promises on the threshold of spent moments.
Excited shudders,
Bucking waists racing with the urgency of a tourney.
Ripples coursing through earthly frames...
A weakness bestowed like the weight of Jesus' burden,
The coming of milk to the land of honey,
Wild oats sowed on ripened mound.
Life springs,
Germinated from the farmer's milky mead.
Lovingly planted in rhythmic slow haste.
With time's patient walk,
Rotund, a seedling evolved.
Feeding from roots tapped into feminine earthly space.
It drew air and luminance from the hemisphere.
With blooming abundance it took form, and applied the law of meoisis.
Time aged and
Ahhh...
Hmmnnnn...
"It's a boy", they cried!
While I, from my cocoon pried.
In anger, I cried!
Welcomed by the sparse smiling-yellowed cob of the aged midwife.
