blood free
beyond birthing
she caught the nature
of beloved Soul
through the soft folds
of her humanity
an ancient banishing
umbilical
where loss and belonging
ebb and flow
beneath the bridge
of being
nursing young and old
stella maris
rising from the grasp
of his quickening sea
exposed
beneath the clothes
of awakening
