I Embraced The Great Magician

In a shrunken-world reality,
I lived the anticipation
with shirt-quivering, ruby beats.
She played a waiting game,
careless to her imminent genesis,
stalling her arrival
through your wincing, stifled tunes.

I wiped the damp-haired,
not-quite-a-mother drops
from your oscillating brow.
Your pain:
the bitter aperitif
to a meal of twinned euphoria.

Your gift:
my elevation to the plain
of the eternally grateful;
our reason for unification
at the casual-chance
convergence of destinies.

Like an eager trip-seeker,
I broke the phial
for the man between your legs,
and as he stitched,
your pain was gone.

You held her with your
hard-earned, mother eyes,
then held her out to me
as it rushed over, and through me:
a tsunami of emotion;
a sweeping sense of wonder.

And in that moment....
I embraced The Great Magician.
