I slipped from birth
wet with tears
into arms
stretched out in hope,
from womb to ward
to other woman,
I slipped from birth
into being;
being had,
being held,
being handed over,
to being held again.

Oh, I like this one! That is the story of our lives—all of them!
I like this one very much, too.
Different borders and boundaries. 🙂
They come in all forms I guess
“arms stretched out in hope”–yes. (K)
