I'm smiling in spite of circumstance
teeth like a horizon
hoping that you hold on to me
the children i don't have
eyes caressing me through my impotent
an unfinished sentence
i wished i could complete
through a sunset you never believed
a bitter thought
i couldn't conceive
that bounce of a baby in a sunset
that non committal regret
changing of nappies
and breakfast feeds
of teats lactating
milk fibre and progress of genes
i crave to pass on intelligence
minus my hatred
plus my need and my love
romance and the ability to dance
the written word
subtract the absurd
child
I need you.
although i would try
multiply
in an instance
and yet
I deny.
