From Dusk To Dusk

The dazzling star 
went through me. 
I was undemanding 
from dusk to dusk 
hurting myself, not anybody. 

Time to meet my twin, 
to set he black on orange. 
My guilt, my fear, my foreboding. 
Let go off, my sap in the twigs, 
fruits were coming down. 

Under the guise of innocence 
eruptiness entered into non-thought. 
One by one snakes unrolled 
with black eyes, under the succulent breasts, 
the black poison clapping the pink lips. 

The dirt was spreading 
on the hands of unborn children. 
Their eyes searching the seeds. 
On dark beads of mother. 
Father had been killed in a cave.
