Untitled

When I am in full bloom
I am moist and fragrant
inviting impervious
open and concealed
Slowly revealing
Reveling in the moment.
This moment.
When I am in full bloom
I am a night-blossoming flower
Intoxicant, delicious, dangerous
Desirous, desired, Divina Bella Donna
I am cats screaming in their coupling
Cactus blooming on the hot desert floor
Water wearing sweet crevasses into unyielding rock
When I am in full bloom
I pull all of creation
through my southern-most mouth
through my navel
Birthing Self
Through a million tiny deaths
Into the ever-present Now.
When I am in full bloom
I become God
meeting Hirself
and merging
again
and again
and again.
