Conception

Two separate universes. A miracle
happens between the two.

His is an ecstasy—full, realized,
grounded.
Hers, riding far from this place, speaks
another language, another
name.

And the magic yet happens!

The two move apart, cluster
into themselves.
Who will welcome the new world,
its birthlight?

He says it barely
exists. Let it prove itself first.
For her, it is a bastard tongue evolved
from one word.

And it is hers.
