we swim in amniotic warmth
and trampoline her shore;
we taste her sweet and salty,
scent vanilla carrot mint
her soft voicedrift descants
heartdrum… throb whoosh
murmur burble wash…of
our presence in her space
then…pulse and pulse
crown pressure and release
for skinness to be air lit
inner outer brash and thrash
sometimes…
when we step to darkness
when we enter light
comes remembrance…place
comes remembrance…rhythm
comes remembrance…music dance
in another room

So pleased you like it, Nancy. Very.
I love your poem, Bonnie, and especially “comes remembrance” three times. I imagine it beating more slowly, more softly to the end.
It’s important to me that you found meaning in it, Sharon…and that you took the time to respond. Smile.
