ode to kagome

a darkened room
a single violet candle burns
odorless
this crowded room
a crib, a bed, a changing table
arranged
a warm blue pool
2 rapidly changing lives inside
amazed
this tiny pool
it tries to comfort these labor pains
intense
a bowl of pot
lies there on the floor for me
waiting
bright green pot
i hit it when i need to recompose
myself
the birthing ball
in the bathroom, blue & bouncy
hypnotizing
sitting on the birthing ball
rocking, moving, rolling
crying
my pain
so intense i dare not breathe
unyielding
the pain
i focus on the end
reward
kagome
two fingers feel the softest hair
indescribable
kagome
you slide into my arms from underwater
love
