As Membranes Merge (Villanelle)

by Laura Lamarca   Nov 9, 2007


Birth beckons in ovum of warm embrace
so softly swell and nurture inner pride,
to bathe in elegance of true love's grace.

As membranes merge in albumen to brace
their spiral bands of unity stretched wide;
birth beckons in ovum of warm embrace.

Pigments blend in oviduct, toe to face
in tender traces of groom and his bride,
to bathe in elegance of true love's grace.

Significant links, candling mankind's race
in firm foetal grip and in solace sighed ~
birth beckons in ovum of warm embrace.

Such honour sought in safety's carapace
as fleshy limbs intertwine to collide,
to bathe in elegance of true love's grace.

From adult to child, golden steps retrace
in unbroken bonds of my soul's life guide,
birth beckons in ovum of warm embrace
to bathe in elegance of true love's grace.
