SWEET MOTHER

Like a lump in her womb

Was my seed in her tube

Washing her skin into mottled pigment of St.louis cube



Invoking amidst her being a strange feud

As the odd presence of a teetotaller in a pub







Her feet clogged with the weight of beach sands

Swinging her waist in unfair balance



Her mouth wane

Like murky streams in holes

cut-out in cones

Insipid like the savour of metal bones





Her words in slurry mime

Sticky as reptilian slime



My birth an awaited grace

Shutting her face

In the theatre of bizarre fate



Clock ticks slowly

Moments drag excessively

The pangs of death shrill loudly



Darkness crest her shoulders

Weakness she shuddered

Her eyes flapping like papery shutters



A form within troubles for the world to see



In a minute the ethereal world she sojourned

The energy of bliss in tears to summon



In her head were sparks of devastating lightning

Submerging her world in ferocious imageries



As I tore through her tissues

Into the  hands in queue



Yet her silver – cord

Launched forth my umbilical cord

Like the letting of rope to a kite to soar

Her life against death’s stake

To hold my fragile frame



All just stood in awry gaze

As in the world I took my place



Of her pains to have me stay

she never complained



But



A smile and kiss

For all the agony in wait.
