The umbilical cord


To my mother

The umbilical cord
that connected me to your body,
trembling with anxiety and anticipation,
that was connecting you to my body,
trembling in pain and distress -
that umbilical cord of life
is now torn
and the world is bleeding.
The moon tumbles,
red sun
bare and shivering
in a cold universe.
