The womb

 The womb is cozy, warm

But all of us get outed

Taking all the umbilical considerations

With us as we become us

Sometimes pain 

Sometimes eyes forced open

Sometimes the prodigal son

Sometimes meeting the trickster

But always mystery if we pay attention

There are other wombs

Like a warm eucalyptus bath

Or wrapped in the Adagio for Strings

Or in the arms of a lover

But none are available in the grave
