Eyelash El - Poppy -1

"I was born from the womb of a dead woman"... after I clung to his warmth for more than I should have, fearing the hell of savage sounds and the strange feelings of a woman giving birth on the back of a stubborn animal, traversing rugged mountains to escape death.
"With a giant warrior's dagger... he was my salvation." He cut the umbilical cord and wrapped me in a blue sheet, penetrated by thick dust laden with the scent of murder. He filled my mother's womb with basil and wild mint, and draped her limbs inside a thick military blanket, the shroud that for a long time contained her body, raising her to his "dumb back" as a lifeless corpse.
He told me repeatedly about that moment, which stopped his heart from beating, when his eyes fell upon Maryam's face, drenched in her blood... eyes wide open, lips parted in a mysterious smile!!
"I closed her eyelids with my hand, after I was certain she'd had her fill of death!!" But she reopened them when I plunged my dagger into her womb, slicing it lengthwise with the sharp blade. She watched me until the moment I brought you out. Nothing in the universe terrified me as much as Mary's eyes did to me then!!
