birthing new ideas

shivers down my spine

so sublime,

i’m in labour,

pregnant with creativity.

all my life, i thought

i was infertile, but was I?

we are coming to terms,

my creative child and I.

my body coiling in

pain, wonder and fear,

as I prepare to

deliver.

I want to say yes to you,

but if I do,

can I make you proud?

can I love you enough?

can I be brave enough?

you’re here now -

my sweet sweet love -

let’s figure it out.
