Birth - The Faint

In the beginning there was semen

In a deep mouth of flesh

And the crest I traveled

On a wave of virile mess

Through a tunnel of mucus

And on toward a vault

With tourists and traffic

I just paced myself

Not I as my whole self

Just the half that I had

Before greeting the rest

Of my better half

A connection was made

Through a shared love of science

And vows were taken

A seed was hired

A cavern of fluid

Brought shape to my hide

In the months that remained

Till the time of my life

I thrashed for the reason

Of spilling from the crack

To the palms of a doctor

To a towel full of scraps

My brains wouldn’t fit

Through her organs of sex

An incision was made

With a scalpel and mask

I should have noticed the beauty

And not how it hurt

Wet like a cherry

In a bloodbath of birth
