To Jewel Birth-Giver To Haraya Poem by Jaime Jesus Borlagdan

To Jewel Birth-Giver To Haraya



Literally a globe in your belly
I ‘ve never seen any woman so full
How many continents swallowed
with your little mouth? How many
people? How much courage to swallow
it all? All the eyes all the arms
all the testicles combined into one
curling.

How could I ever manage not to burst
from the dreadful trees into the wind
with the engine of a stork when the world
crawls out into a child.
