Scene like a Banksy mural:
tiny Flower Thrower lobbing
blood and vernix onto our
chests, squirming pink-
purple skin gliding on Māmān,
alien as amniotic fluid,
charging the night
with witchery and colostrum,
red-cheeked grace that
remakes the ride home,
each minor pock, each distant
car a quandary to skirt until
home: white muslin drifts
into the hallway, raider cloaked
at the threshold, no return
as natural disaster hits
revelation – singularity – we who
fancied ourselves faithless
know a goddess has arrived.
