Down below: true sacredness

What is this depth?


Calling, deeper, deeper….


. .  .   still . 


For so long I have wondered the contours of your gaping flesh 


The cavern ‘of despair’


Mundane calling


Why do we avoid you? and call you:


‘pain’?


What is this dance with death, from life?


When I peer inside…


I see… a cave.


A place of hiding.


I climb in, crying out for a place to dissapear


>>> into <<<


If I could be held by your dark light


Covered by the shadows of your body


Embraced by the sweet emptiness of your belly


I would be…


. .   . filled.


Is she emtpy, or is she full?


Is this space hollow, or…


fulfilled.  . . ?


Pointless, lifeless, or. .  . 


Are you alive, in the subtlest of ways?


>>> sweet radiance in the silence <<<


In the deep pit of my stomach…


I feel:


a stirring…


Awakening


But not a leaving


Awakening


But not a climbing out


Awakening


To this chamber


This sacred chamber of my birth


This secret vestibule of my:


death.


Death erupts life and life delights in death…


I feel:


a spiralling…


Remembrance 


That things are not as they seem


Remembrance


That my form is, though seen, entirely in-bet—w e  e   n   .  . .


Twix these two worlds 


I am both life and death, and all that is…


Held here securely in this frame


Existence sits clothed, in her true form:


It is me


I am


Though humble and afraid


in this stark outline


resides the body of


H E R


I cannot escape…


the boundaries of this skin:


My fleshy


real


& messy


So, I follow spiral staircase here within. .  . 


Downward, 


In-ward,


S l  o   w


Until


I 


meet


H E R


below.
