Born of a Fiery Womb

As if I had the answer

to the questions that u ask.

As if I chose a single time

to sever now from past.

As if the truth

were in my hands.

As if I kept them clean.

As if I chose a single path

and fastened to the dream.

As if the wind

As if the stars

As if the in between

had watched me

in my sleep and

protected me.

As if there were

a single day

so unaligned with stars

that frightened/fearless lovers

might ignite the civil wars

that gave birth to us.
