Nativity

My connection to my mother was severed

They unplugged my cord

And it hurt

For some reason it never healed quite right

I've always had a half in half out

Depending upon how full I was

When she died it hurt

In many ways, but especially

There it hurt a lot

My belly button hurt so bad I saw a doctor

He told me that hernia has been there since birth

I felt the distance life and death created

At my original source of connection
