Poetry

Womb

Murali Raman

Pitch dark
Cold
Waiting
Wondering
A warm wetness washes over
Silent
Sticky
A sharp pinpoint of pain is born
Colitis
Convulsing
Flushing warm bothered
Gagging
Gloopy
A lightness of being
Tingling
Alive
Thick gloopy urgent moves
A tsunami of emotion
Quaking feelings
And then
Hot deluge
Sticky eagerness floods
Then, stillness.
And a gentle sigh.
Life abounds
Dance celebration
climax of hormonal intuitive action
A glimmering light is lit
Grows
A starry hope is born.
