High Alert sixth sense
quantum physics
theory of relativity
incomprehensible
I’m not a scientist
but I know you need me
different province
different time zone
I feel your hurt
feel your pain
Birth cord not severed upon delivery
blood bleeds red
pulse skips
touches both
voodoo doll empathy
I’m walking along and suddenly I hurt
I think of you and know
there is pain
I do not know why
but I feel it just the same
We’re on this journey together
whether you know it or not
defying scientific principle
we remain connected
This is very real and full of pain and empathy for someone who lost their child at birth. Excruciating!
Thank you for continuing to read my posts, Karen! And thank you for taking the time to comment 🙂
I sense that deep connection you have with your child; this is a powerful piece of verse. The voodoo doll image helps electrify your experience. This is a visceral and painful connection that defies the notion of a severed umbilical cord. Wow!
