SECOND PREGNANCY

Berthold Lippel

Pregnant again !

Little did I know

That a stubborn hero,

Wiggling his way to  victory

Exhausted but triumphant

Would deliver the precious seed.

Trembling, I offered the Oracle

A golden drop.

At last the color spoke:

Yes!

Oh Maculate Conception!

I am twice chosen

My womb has been rented

My solitude breached.

The invader within

That pearl of pure will

Reaches out to the future.

I am a handmaiden once again

A launching pad

A rocket stage to be discarded

When my beloved new astronaut

Navigates to his own star.
