• Under- fed and portable, a house, a home, retractable
    Embryo kept in the eaves of his blossomed rose bush teeth
    Red wine flows free between silk sheets,
    the legs, her length, consoling deeds
    Victim of meer circumstance
    circumcision and a passing glance
    A blister's sheen below your knees
    a smile's taste and a drowning flea
    your thought has been the seed of day
    your child has come to wish away
    It's mother
    Birthing Pains
