Living vibrato

This popping seeds sound

Melting its quivering

Into a body that lies.

No longer quietly.

I used to hear the willowing weeps

I remember their vibrato

Lovingly filling me up with life.

Or not.

I am dead.

I think I am dead.

But life won't let go of me,

Using me unmercifully.

The movement in my bowls

The heat of my flesh

No longer mine to give

Just yours to take.

Not once a mother

I am now your home.

The universe is cruel and yet

You are feeding on me

Accepting the rotten me

To grow.


With a motherly love

With a last au revoir to life

I am surrendering myself to death

Whilst birthing you.
