A new baby

I straigthened, mildly
Started down, slowly
Corkscrew movement
Steadily measured

Down

Down

Not in a rush

My fore head the lead

I kept the pace


Something was down

Wall like
Soft like
Like I was enclosed

It gave way

An opening

Not wide

Contractions
Slowly

Contractions

Faster

Wider

Wider

I felt the outside

Things were happening

My keeper was moved
Helped to move

I slowed
And she calmed

My keeper seems to be positioned

She eased and urged me

I regained my moves
A bit faster

And the force…

Then there was
A different air
A different feel
A different smell

And I screamed

And I was touched

And I came out

Whole

And I was carried
Tenderly

I jiggled
All I could do

I weighed 3.2kg

Handsome
Innocent
Spotless

On the 18th of October, 1986

I stepped into planet earth
A New Born Baby Boy.
