Hard Labor Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Hard Labor



A Haibun

Sunlight slants through the window in bars of gold, collecting in a pool around my feet. Shrouded in her own darkness, my muse moans and screams. At her side, I keep yelling, 'Push baby, push...' The final few words have clung to the walls of her womb for hours.
