Creation
English source:
Gini Savage
I give birth to myself
my own mother and father
for years I ran like a clock-work mouse
Mama says, Papa says,
when does Goldilocks say
I am
Driven
I didn’t stop
expected more from the umbilicus
never once got off the hook line or sinker
now before the world
I reach out
my own mother and father
for years I ran like a clock-work mouse
Mama says, Papa says,
when does Goldilocks say
I am
Driven
I didn’t stop
expected more from the umbilicus
never once got off the hook line or sinker
now before the world
I reach out
