birth

birth of the poet Genet genesis. wrapped in mystery
veil of which makes everything
appeal
allure

December 19
were he still around he'd be older
sicker feeble

.

He is born to Gabrielle or some such name , a
woman of unknown means, a real whore,
a seamstress.

Yesterday his ghost witnessed
my first act
a secret desire blossomed sprung forth
behind a skirt &
we were witnessed by such a radiance
of feminine glory as to
please her
happy her happiness
pleasured


.



She came to me in
the library

saying


"My one
Child my child
Come here "

.
She came


I went

and

Came to her .






As a statue speaks to its name


.
