sweet belly.

beauties! a poetic recipe to nourish youxxxx

you are pink inside
and of course i love pink

you are so round

rotating, holding

my breath

my blood

my babies

you stretch to make room for love

and we, together birth a lot of things

my physical muse in scrubs with a telescope

looking for my constellation of emotion

hiding inside a bloated poem or a super flat song

I am indebted to you

I have never used the word indebted

I will write through the doubt
to trust avenue

to tell you

you are a house

a warm, cozy, ever-growing house

a flexible, loving house

you believe in me

you trust me more than I have ever trusted myself

you were definitely the first one here

I am so grateful

you surpised me in 2006 & 2011

you got so big!

you really know how to grow

to take care of me

and all who came during me

I send you thank you notes;

dark chocolate, a good steam, breathing you in and out

I want you to feel strong

the baby door that ‘they’
created out of you is lopsided

is it bothering you?

can you feel it from where you are?

I love your honesty

I love that we are working together again

I am committed to your muscles

are you feeling better since I started working out?

oh good.

I am so happy to nourish you

cooking for you

rubbing you at night

we have been through so much together

thank you
feels weak

you who grew a placenta

you who housed my babes

your wisdom
an IV to my everything 
but it’s all I got

so,

thank you

sweet round belly

thank you.
