Descent
2026
The womb descends deep into the earth, heated by the warmth of the mantle.
Inside the cave her eggs sit vibrating, gestating the promise of change.
She settles amongst the earth and grit, nourished by their grounding,
Her blood oozes into the earth in a cycle of symbiosis.
Each orifice leads deeper through unfolding mineral strata,
Paving the way for depth and darkness.
Wax drips into my soul and I expunge it through my skin as I bleed black.
