What Child is This?
From the soul of her belly button
A million lives stringing forth
Globbing like jelly fish
Spewing ink
Fermenting oranges and blossoming bosoms,
Heads sprout up where others have been cut down
In a land much different than our own
Be kind to your mother since she is the only one you will ever have, trust not in your accomplishments but failure to make you go far
Rest not in self inflicted prisons
Design love upon a mat and lay it at their feet
For here is where every life will meet
