Sister, you are positively obese.
No, seriously,
your womb is the nucleus
to which all celestial bodies
gravitate.
The stars have lost their objectiveness
and find you, in their own distortion,
an entire nursery of genomes,
nude and nondescript
and interrupting the very intimate
dialogue of heaven
which probably illustrates
the enormity of life on earth.
How selfish your round gut.
And my own empty womb
floats somewhere in orbit.

roundness begets; the ancients had that right. Mythologically as well as biologically speaking.

A ripe woman...yes, they are as beautiful as the moon!

It goes away as soon as I realize how fed up I am dealing with my dogs... I can't imagine having another baby. LOL
