Birth

Blood, water & debris everywhere.
Possibly these are reminders,

arranged by God or Nature,
as with disaster or grandeur,

both equally attended signs.

Then there is the thing itself falling
resolutely to earth's pain & promise

already a truth we cannot guess
because we are here. And time

watches, too, eager as a predator
to cast itself over the whole event

seine up the pain, even as it begins,
conferring the importance of limits.
