writing the first week of new life.

half awake dreams of birth and of the future

The body in shock

Moving through transitions 
A vessel without baby
Without placenta 
Without need for extra blood
Or extra space

Shrinking in physically 
While expansion continues beyond the confines of my frame

My mind wanders
Half wake Dreams of birth and future and grown up children 
Two teenagers
Wrapping themselves around me 
Arriving home from the bush or beach
I could not tell
But beautiful men
Holding their mother 
As I hold them both now

I am reminded to stay strong
In myself 
In Mind and muscle 
They will need me less and less 
Then more and more someday 

My two boys.
