The mysterious is revealed
In the birth of a child

The revelation is
That it is a mystery

The beautiful lusty child and
The strange organ that after emerges

Afterbirth!

What a careless name
To give the essential link
Between mother and child

It is a primal body
A link to the ancient past

"Primitive" peoples
Conduct ceremonies
For this organ

Let us think on this
