Diatasis

Pangs of birth, Midas’ daughters

golden aquatic apes eating my flesh

as I love them

These are my gifts to the world as I know it

(no state lines, religion, confinement, distortion)

with freedom of heart spirit mind

knowledge not lacking wisdom

beauty in their own minds

confidence in their own souls

Oh, female children of my womb,

do be fresh and innocent for a while,

for I am sure that the only pain which I cannot bear is your own pain.
