Yin


Stomach this
Breast
Fist
I am terrified
and
still exist
Tired
Wide
Split
Wide
Awake
Apart
aren't we all?
A part...
Water Dog
Water Bearer
Sign of love
Sign of humanity
Silence of spring
I don't fall funny
This was never funny
And I don't fall easy anymore
I dive instead
Dunk my head
Then pour soul nectar allover the floor
I don't fall
Pretty anymore
The forever mystery is
What do you see
It's forever because I'll never know
and a long time ago
I was your mother
and i knew what mothers know
I knew you would be my baby for a little while
And then my heart would go wild
in anticipation of the fall
I told you what to do
And you told me where to go
And I knew
As all mothers know
That you would be my baby
Even when you were grown
And you ran like a cat for a mouse
Ran straight out of the house
And all I had was love
for all the complications and misnomers
all of the contradictions and
beauty in your soul
At the beginning, all there was
was love
And in the end
There was only this
Love
