I was sitting unnoticed in the corner of the birth room watching my mother giving birth<\/p>\n
It was on a Sunday afternoon in late August<\/p>\n
At 5:20 to be exact<\/p>\n
I came out crying as I had already witnessed all the sins of the world<\/p>\n
That is the fate of poets<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many years later in a city of beauty I was sitting under a small lemon tree<\/p>\n
Sharing my birthday with all those I loved<\/p>\n
It was supremely happy occasion<\/p>\n
But I knew that these days would would not last<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A month or so later I found myself in the birthing room once more<\/p>\n
it was derelict and empty with ivy creeping up the dour and damp walls<\/p>\n
My mother was was no longer there<\/p>\n
Later that day I buried her in the pouring rain<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will be happy again I am sure of that fact<\/p>\n
There is too much love around me I feel it in every breath<\/p>\n
Every beat of of my heart tells me truth that I cannot see<\/p>\n
But for now I will sit quietly in the corner of that wretched room<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
