Head down, weary, eyes on me
Asking a question, as we all do:
Just for tonight or forever be?
I told you you were cute
You said you didn’t feel it, prove it
So I kissed you
And you said: you’ll do
Now we are husband and wife
About to bring life into this world
Are we capable? Are we schooled?
Birthing classes bleated about pain
Support, preparation, analgesia
Pushing life into being looks fraught
Sometimes fish get stuck in the net
Let this life be loosed and caught
