--hard--hot--light--penetrates--
pinning down to splintered stage
me
whipping chrome gleam in my eyes
a_cough_to clear the tubes
not because _cough_ is a sign

(which it is)
i crackle my fingers
s/t/u/t/t/e/r under lined words
its name <jerks> first attention
a newborn sucking sound
in thought
the body follows-stronger-faster-
-flooding into existence
(my son, my daughter) my child
--------
its sudden gift of prescence
so satisfying but not so much-
-as weightless pause before
my text-tube baby is received
its eyes reflect(?)
refract(?)
i cannot see the FEAR
(of tightly closed)
shrinks me
below the lips and eyes
breif unobserved seconds boil up
andoverflowinto.orgasmic.rushofpeergrouppleasure
this is the right time

pink flush of new pregnant dawn
