She bears your child.
Yet, I bear your heart.
Her belly grows
And you come here.
Your sword needs sheath
And mine is chosen to hold you.
Her belly swells
And mine Flexes…
Welcomes… And implores you.
For apart of you grows inside her
And I’m telling you
To believe It’s not the rooster you hear.
Believe me, my love love
It was the owl
That calls. Our time has not reached
Its morning. You are tied
By umbilical cord,
A cord that I cannot cut
And I’m hung on your linens line
To dry.
She carries your bloodline
Yet, it’s my blood
That’s dried on you.
What will we do?
Love love?
You say its timing,
I say its chance.
A chance we
No longer have.
Nor, could we afford
To take. I do not hate her.
But I cannot help
Flaring green. She has your gift
Of creation. She shelters the essence
Of the both of you.
A beautiful gift.
A gift I could never
Give you.
A gift that
shouldn’t be shared
By her.
It shouldn’t
be growing.
Not in her.
Not now.
Not ever.
