When the world keeps knocking on your door
making demands, insisting that
you owe it something special,
look for the jewels inside.
Let the body become a primordial womb
nourishing all your desires as a tiny fetus
inside grows plump with that longing.
It does not need to answer to anyone
until it is ripe for passage
through a canal of wonder
so ready to meet the world outside
perceived, conceived in love.
