GENESIS

The Universe cried

Out of your womb

Woman.

You breast fed it

Through Milky Way

And when the rain

Threw its fury over the clouds,

The winds carried

Your scream

As a sign of

Birth.

The Comets jolted

Out of your hair

Woman.

Your mind pushed

The Galaxies

And when the falling stars

Returned to you,

The future became

Your past

As a sign of

Beauty.

The Daybreak poured

Out of your tears

Woman.

Your eyes sparked

The Suns

And when the mist

Covered the Virgin Planets,

The thunder led

Your hand

As a sign of

Blindness.

The War emerged

Out of your heart

Woman.

Your feet swept

The Stardust

And when the storm

Dropped to whisper,

The victims cried

Your malice

As a sign of

Betrayal.

Out of all this

Beware

Woman.

No matter what you do,

No matter what you feel,

Don't throw your soul

Into a Black Hole.

It's a one-way street with

No signs

No exits

No memories…
