Ode To My Mother

 

 

Soft belly affords an entrance

She is leaning on the bed 

Mulling over the \'Heard Maladies\', 

Lips widened when 

Thinking about the future!

 

Gloomy world: 

The little one is curling,

Hitting the wall against it, 

It must be a symptom!

 

Exhausted body, 

Writhing with pain, 

A state of chaos, 

Her heart weeps, 

Longing to attain,

The worldly state of a woman.

 

Calabash burst out, 

The blood is oozing, 

Blushy cheeks 

Reveals the attainment!

 

The mustard eyes opening, 

Puppetish, 

With an alarming voice, 

She recognises her Identity! 

Hands yearning to 

Touch the new comer!
