Time Capture
wombal canal heaves continuity
within its chambers as a child is born
ushering into immortality
joy is here, ripened by the morning sun
navel to push, cervix to labour orn
gestational evidences of hope
legacy, time captured kaleidoscope
mandate fulfilled by multiplication
fate of mankind hangs on fragile rope
procreation is for self-preservation
