man made
in ecstasy
it pained his mother still
that some poor woman
would suffer like her
made heavy her heart
a mouth on her breast
man made
in ecstasy
it pained her mother still
that one day she would suffer
without any promise
save
a mouth on her breast
one born to fill
the other to await
their mother:
a promise in her womb
a half chance at ecstasy
she for one
looks elsewhere
