Labour


I sweat, heart pounding in the trance
of helpless navigation.  Fetus swarms
the labyrinth, oozes pungent cadavers
of thought and futile expectations.

I pull, slippery mind guides an unwilling
primodium, still swirling in tentative
eddies of formation. It pushes me back,
letting spill the acridity of failure.

I stop. The blank PC screen stares back
haughtily,  sigh at the naiveté of my
endeavor for a premature intellectual
C-section.
