The First Seconds of Life

The first gasp
of potent air
taken in,
shocks and awes
innocence.
 
The lightest touch of air,
sharp on new skin,
photons, sounds unimagined,
brought to clarity
Aurally
Visually.
as neurons sing
to deliver the world
 
Painfully.
 
The first seconds of life
last a lifetime.
 
Watching guardians hold onto each other...
Gloved hands hover...
Instruments beeps cease...
All breath is held...
Until that...
of the the world’s latest heir...
 
is expelled.
Rejected.
SCREAMED, BAWLED, pushed and
KICKED out.
Thankfully.
 
Music to the mothership ears.
 
Poor, lucky, babe.
 
Now onward. To discover,
the rest of life’s seconds.

(2014)
