The Best Teacher
the best teacher is the midwife
she helps you
give birth to ideas
she eases the pain
she wipes the blood
she takes the baby
from you
yet you know that
everything is safe and sound
you hear you baby cry
as she raises him
invertedly up
against the sky
then she leaves
in tiptoeing silence
as you sleep soundly again
closing your eyes for more
sweet dreams
