Not the hoopla around her once she was breathing but the experience of passage through the birth canal itself.<br /><br />I love the ending notion that the sequence of birth and death are (perhaps) an illusion, a distraction.<br /><br />Beautiful evocative poem with a strong philosophical and spiritual implication.<br /><br />Thank you, Erin!Paul Oakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426789386840488470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967375595996577997.post-51592174455035424812010-03-08T20:26:50.210-08:002010-03-08T20:26:50.210-08:00Love the way you have worked on the tropes of birt...Love the way you have worked on the tropes of birth and death in your poem.Uma Gowrishankarhttp://umaathreya.blogsome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967375595996577997.post-89439715513615257872010-03-07T13:29:28.044-08:002010-03-07T13:29:28.044-08:00~rallentanda: I love the connection to your childh...~rallentanda: I love the connection to your childhood song; it speaks to the need we seem to have to break from time or at least not be driven by it...<br /><br />~Derrick: Thanks!
