How A Mother Is Born

by Jasmine Sword-Mann

1
Rapture,
orgasm, yes!
It always goes back to
sex. What? A broken condom? Shit,
what now?

2
Jasmine,
sigh softly. Speak
with delicate petal
undertones. Step lightly around
flowers.

3
Pregnant -
tender breasts and
morning puke. Oh lovely
round belly, you feel just like sex-
tuplets.

4
Breathe, breathe.
The head won't fit.
Doctor says there must be an
emergency incision. Breathe,
my son.

5
First words:
mommom mama?
mommy mom my mama
momm am a mom mymom am a
mommy.

6
Breakfast
is eggs and toast,
Bukowski and coffee.
You don't listen as it gets cold,
then leave.

7
Wonder -
your eyes: black pools,
liquid filled awe over
blowing bubbles. We learn to laugh
like kids.
