THE BIRTH

Whatever I did,
I did it with my own
Labour and pain

Why do, then
You cry
Taking an upturn

See for thyself
How, Mother has
Procured, care for you

Whatever I did
I did it with my care
The nest and the womb

Why did, then
Your legs
Kick my stomach

See for thyself
How, Mother has
Prized you a gift

Whatever I did
I did it with my own
Sky and Earth

Why did, then
You keep
You eyes closed

See for thyself
How universes
Dance about your feet
