Song of Your Growing
In utero
the cosmogony--
evolution and formation of you--
from one in 600 million
ovum fallopian eon
galaxy night stars
cervix world womb
An orange-red glow,
supernovae of
blood vessels illuminated
by sun's light
zygote stem bud
cell platelet leaf
vein river root
egg embryo pulse
Our two beating hearts
binary stars dancing,
rhythms from two bodies
orbiting in gravidity
penumbra albedo halo
long-waited comet
birthline accretion matter
spiral nebula resonance
Constant tug at my heart
pulling downward
shifting my consciousness
nothing left unchanged
hair nails eyes
liver kidneys spine
lips toes testes
brain skin tongue
Be comforted
safely wake and sleep
in warm darkness
your first universe
noises, sounds
filtering light
mother's voice
sense of touch
floating buoyant
This is known:
you are held
you are carried
your are that universe's child.
