A birth pang is a distance breached
between what is and what was not
those inclined to believe in reincarnation
might say, Abigail is ignorant about karma
yes, perhaps, I am ignorant of karma,
as ignorance is the common denominator
in all speculative beliefs.
This how Abigail sees it:
The cosmos may have been released
in a moment of internalized compulsion
like momentum pressed against inertia
or the surrender of a super ego
to an irresistible connection
as egg opens to sperm
as water breaks in womb
and out egresses toes and fingers
and eyes tightly shut
the miracle, the daily occurrence
which is birth and life
the reduced and minuscule Big Bang
that makes you think a bit
and makes you utter "Wow."
