Video + Written Poetry | Illustrating “A Bloody, Beautiful Blooming”
paradise on fire
bleeding hearts
for the wounds that cling
violent contractions
the blood that shifts paradigms
womb to world
struggling to breath
then we arrive
we voice our first cry
hearts open
hearts bleeding
hearts needing
the mother
traumas
travel through
to the next generation
until we welcome the revelations
the revolutionary path
begins within
reactionary
arrested
listen
for the blessed
hearts bleed in solidarity
transforming collectively
voicing our cries
with intelligent eyes
ending ancestral rhythms
unlearning the old conditions
reckoning the longing for the safety of the womb
every heartbeat
an act of love
bloody
breathless
until we cry
on the other side
~by Meghan Spiro
The womb
where we ruminate
ancestral aches wake
Sit in the silence
Cry to the violence
Darkness consuming
Renew
To the blood
That soaks these sheets
To the hateful hands
To the mothers who birth new
Tip the scales
The scales…
inescapable
Unbreakable
prisms
cast projections
in all expressions
Horrifying
inspiring
Evolutionary spirals churning
One blood
One soul
One love
~by Meghan Spiro
Amongst the tangled roots
Every cycle, a prayer to release a knot
Karma
