Cesarian Section Poem by Dónall Dempsey
Cesarian Section
Huddled against the cold
we cuddled politely
waiting on a 24 that wouldn’t come.
As the cold got colder
I grew bolder.
“Come here! ” I commanded
& put you inside my coat.
Happy as a happy ever after –
- snug as a bug in a rug.
Intimate cuddling
a la cliché.
“I feel like I’m your baby! ”
you grin from somewhere deep within me.
Then all too soon the bus that wouldn’t come
comes
&
reluctantly
I
give birth
to you.
Very good. And I mean VERY good. Those last couple of lines were excellent... Will read more of yours, Donnall. Love, Fran xx

Such a beautiful evocation of love...and so surprising from a male being couched in female terms. I think you are a seahorse...swimming up the Thames! This is startling with its beauty and how that little action blossoms into the image of you giving birth...its so touching and gentle and tender. Sob...sorry a little tear. You catch the tentative first little seedlings of love as they ache to come into existence. Such a beautiful beautiful poem. I am so moved by it. love Debs
