Birth (Free verse) by Caducus
Born screaming into smiles
then wiped clean, sex checked
and separated
from bloodied purity
Into filth,
by latex executioners
aluminium murder.
Put me back.
For this man is stillborn.
Who sleeps fetal,
in a cold cotton womb
and awakes dying
next to a sewed vagina.
Like the Bible
I am edited to mistruths
by an empress
who varnishes nails red
lashing at my back
as I fill the rubber chalice
of denied seed.
Our last supper.
I watched her devour my hopes,
Kissed her as she tied me in ropes
below a bleeding sky
where I hung
with the orb of ovulated yolk.
Pulled from the cunt of life
to the arms of death,
concentrated breathing
slowly leaving,
reborn a Father
to the baby you denied me.
