Incarnations - 2. Living Evolution
Inside -- upside down
Topsy-turvy, spinning ‘round
Living on a life-line -- astronauts in space
Living evolution; creation’s slap in the face.
Tight little tummies tucked all in
Hiding faces, fingers, toes and skin
No one sees me, knows I’m here
No one believes till they’re gulping for air.
Praying to the porcelain gods –
Please, oh please, not me.
Secret found -- ultrasound
Thumpa-thump, sound so keen
Tiny thing the size of a bean
Oceans of lotions: hands, feet, face, back, belly
Some end in the name Jelly.
Kicking room gone
Toe stuck in a nostril
Lots of pressure,
Hard to spin, hard to turn
Hard to punch and kick
I don’t like this pressure.
Shoulders shoving, turtle-doving
Elbows, knees go to town
Right side up - upside down.
I really don’t like this pressure.
But I do like my nose being toe free.
Slippery sliding – gravity colliding
Warm and wet – shivers get
Turnin’ blue – a sneeze or two
What’s that wail? What the hell?
“It’s a boy! You have a son.”
