Cribbed in the ocean of a mothered world;
Bound by the belly and the tide,
The angel counts the seconds on the throw of cells
Unhindered by the curse of being blind.

Curled in the crooking of his shepherdess;
Soothed by the wooing and the heat,
The page forms unwritten turning sap to flesh
And caul to quick, all kicking in his haste.

Suddenly the exit and the entrance
Two strangers tied but yet to meet
In tender clutches smiles unleash the tears to dream
All savoured in the hunt for breath and breast.

Soft swaddled kisses couched with pure relief
All counts found true of pigs and pokes.
The gods of Adam, wrapped within their heathen pride,
Both tickled by the giving and the gift.

Grinch -

interesting to see you in Open. Nice piece though. I liked the juxtaposition throughout. Little redundant here and there. good work though.

Sea,

Thank you, I suppose the finders keepers rule comes into play here, as you were the first to find it it's only fair you get to keep it.

It's not that interesting; though I do feel more at home in the Alley I must admit.
