Celebratea woman pregnant,
I long to be seen
belly protruding,
life invisibly
visible
squirming
inside
I want to be seen
honored,
revered,
Exalted
not as my person,
but as the Miracle itself
of life begetting life
of human birth
Celebrate
the woman
pregnant
don't set her aside
nor cast her off
as disabled,
or ever
less woman;
Revel
with her
feeling her firmness
knowing her softness
Carve
her rare
beauty
in smooth
black ebony
Look
upon
her.
Celebrate the woman pregnant
Hers is to know
the creative moment
of Life incarnating.
