you pulled into this world
slug-like
muscled through passage
passed
reforming your credible state
in front of the health team
and in view of myself
taking your cast
you cried out
about the new conditions
gull to life
gull toward a name
and gull toward embrace-ment
in this fight
in this criers feeding ground
accounted be
a token of force
a token of soul
and a token for ward
in this great mimicry
