BORN



coughed free in red twine to adrenaline joy

or
clipped and lifted in scheduled surgery mornings
hungry and screaming for air we've not ever breathed
or 
blown coolly out

a miracle

or 
an essential mundane act of breeders
bursting and burping 
every minute and everywhere

and death - equally essential 
gruesome 
grotty 
or 
ridiculous 
ends in a Big Peace
back to where before we were born

this is never called a miracle

i wonder why – there IS still shopping to be done
