John's a Baptist

Writing is my motherhood
I travail
in birth between the veil
birthin' between the lines
to leave black and white
officiating
supreme joy
as love arrives
souls come forth
days and years in labor
laborin'
bringin' forth
new life
that helps babies grow
healthy inside me
nourished with John 3:16
leavin' stretch marks
under my eyes
to the utter ends
of da earth
no memorial
Heaven's my afterbirth
