lily (xlvi)

after 119 days of somersault kicks
trapped happiness inside
and me - soothed and round
like a digestive biscuit

you were here

a moment
a burst of haloed light
and God's fleshed face

muddied wooliness was my mind
oh my, you were finally here

a shade somewhere between
eggplant white salmon pink,
my six pound miracle
covered in leftovers
of my insides

syllables escaped me,
you were it


i was looking at my heart
