POETRY THIS WEEK
New poems posted here. Some short, some long, some address the weaknesses, others the strong.
Birthing Partner
Visiting his birthing partner one last time today Dressed in her finest she’s finally gone away Going home he was told Prepared for travel brave and bold
Or was she? He stared and wondered
Had she planned at all for this day, the day she’d be put down and under
She never talked of it Not to his knowledge, not through grade school high school or even college
Exclaimed she ‘believed’ That was to be her last word on the ‘Son of Man’ Now she’ll be finding out first hand
Bidding farewell to his birthing partner of oh so long ago Until he too arrives postmortem he will never know.
