Entrance

We slide forth dripping with

after-birth, plum-colored,

from the Goddess’s womb,

Caterwauling, purple with need,

we seek Her benediction,

Her calming minstrations-balm

for our naked first thrust

into a blue and eerie world,

instinct our promise to the comfort

of Her flesh, to the succor given

by her pale breast-milk, warm

as our innocence.

 

Entrance is the second poem written by Krikor Der Hohanesian that I am publishing on writerscornermagazine.com
