the birthing room

the birthing room

so many expectant wombs lay fertile

outstretched intellect awaiting the

opportunity to reclaim lives hearts

soul spirit health creative genius

memory unconscious cooked to

conscious memory

the fruit of our own loins

bearing now the responsibilities

of

present moment choice

of

love we give and love we take

collective energy collecting energy

transmuting cellular pain grief trauma

transforming real time

succumbing to the one we call our

beloved

in orgasmic honor

designing life

reclaiming life

creating life

all possibilities possible

a community of midwifeshamans

celebrating juicy glorious

birthafterbirthafterbirth

shiny faces beaming in

full grace

fully present in

the presence

so many tears of

joy

stinging and

singing

in one

sweetsoftraucous

harmony

all mothers

all babies

all love

all love

always love
