upon this tidal wave of young blood
My mind is a tomb where the gods sleep
To awaken in my dreams
Past and future blur in to the present
My hearts ink bleeds, staining the parchment of the days
It took my mother three days to evict me from her soft place
Aching for the blade to cut me out
Peeling the flesh from the sacred ground
An explosion of screaming guilt and bloody flesh
To lay roots at the foot of the temple
To blast open the doors of perception
Such mewling wrath, such piercing screams
Was it worth it mother?
Am I worth it mother?
Blood from the nipple
Blossom falls

I love this whole sense of you not wanting to come out through describing birth as an eviction and that final line
Blossom falls. Fabulous lines Stu
