   Lambing Time

   Between
   a waxing, butter moon
   And
   a faintly piping dawn
   the ewe
   bore
   one lamb
   near
   the green equinox,
   her birth bellows
   ringing
   down the hollar.
   I helped a little,
   my steaming hands
   soaked
   in amniotics
   as I guided
   the big-shouldered
   ram lamb
   out,
   with gentle tugs
   to the tempo of
   the ewe's
   and the moon's
   contractions,
   the lamb
   announcing:
   Alive, alive, O!

      in reply to

      @tellio that is wonderful

      I wish I could be a moth near the moon during this season and watch as life unfolds in the stillness.
