A mind that conceived and idea
became an impregnated soul
that took less than
nine months
to reach full
potential and maturity
Before the beginning of an
unexplored existence
Before - Before
Back to a time where
literary lineages
marked a child
on it's passage
living in a womb
full of knowledge
and words that
were traversed
through painful yet
joyous parturition
I was birthed into a delivery
room that
is fully furnished with
many images of
life's happy and sad
times ... hoping for
little or no birth
defects
... yet I develop and
grow from these
experiences -- naturally
With this gift from God
I am blessed...
priveledged to share
creativity sustained
in solitude
I don't use
"poem control pills" to limit
the number of
scribes I produce or
... in my mental cavity
there is no
such thing as
planned parenthood
The subject matter
I may choose to
script about is "pro - choice"
and a birth right
which resulted from
a conceptualized
gestation period
that develops in
varying amounts of
time
My poems are certificates
of birth that record
the realness of my
being ... and
with each prose I
write
I am BORN again
