What is a mother willing to do?

bleed rhythmically in preparation for you
search relentlessly in preparation for you
fail unflinchingly in preparation for you

eventually, when the time is right
accept the seed in preparation for you
build a nest in preparation for you

This is a universe in motion

Now her body changes as she grows you, and
from her heart she nourishes you
