Breathe your baby down,
Softly
Gently
She enters shaking
She sinks
He holds her
She stands
He walks with her
Water
Thirst
Heat
Relief
“Breathe the baby down”
Push lower
Three generations
A fourth is born
“Breathe the baby down”
She knows how to do this,
She knows how to birth this baby, whispers the wisest in the room.
Another rush….
She chants, between deep breathes
Press hard
Here it comes
Push harder
Bring that baby down
Keep resting…
It’s ok
It’s so painful
Its not painful
Breathe the baby down
She chants
She moves
Lucid
The room floats away
She snaps
Heavy sighs bring him closer….
She rests
Oh yikes….
another one
Oh fuck…
And she sinks
And she sings
A song
Of love
Of labor
She hums
