2023 AWAKENING xxvi

  1. mum’s swollen belly
    touched with color, most confusing
    the heaven-shining moon
  2. mum’s belly
    why does the moon
    seem so near?
  3. expectant bellies…
    heaven’s moon
    halt in their course
  4. mum’s belly my gaze is on the moon
  5. swollen belly
    long have i gaze upon it!
    full moon
  6. mum’s belly…
    even when the day does dim
    the moonlight shines
  7. swollen breasts–
    do i see, today, at the last
    twin moons
  8. full moon–
    what am i do about
    this drooping belly?
  9. summer sun announcing the birth of a baby
  10. summer sun
    i briefly glimpse
    mum’s swelling belly
  11. summer sun–
    it will not remain
    i know to well
    mum’s due date
  12. full moon
    may fall, or not,
    lifting my heavy
    belly
  13. full moon
    round and round
    mum’s belly

2023 AWAKENING xxv

  1. plastic rain…
    a bundle of pregnancy tests
    falling straight down
  2. hard rain
    her pregnancy test
    reads positive
  3. trying to read
    the pregnancy test
    tears are fogged and
    blinded
  4. plastic snowflakes
    i do count them out…
    pregnancy tests
  5. hard snow pregnancy tests keep on falling
  6. hard rain
    i did weep and weep again
    at the doctor’s office
  7. pregnancy tests a sprinkling of snowflakes
  8. pregnancy test
    has such a glow, that
    the blossoms fail to shine
  9. pregnancy tests
    the fallen, scattered snow—
    how do i sweep it away?
  10. pregnancy tests…
    white snow
    has fallen, drifted high around
    my feet
