After my birth
I nothing
I possess nothing
I feel nothing
Not love
Food
Pissing
Shitting
Nor sleeping
Nothing touched my nothingness__
Then I awoke
Underwater
Lungs filled with water
Panic
Around me nothing
I look up
A hand
I reach up
Two hands seize mine
I am pulled to the surface
A woman on a raft hugs me
I know her smell___
I had known it for my forever
I had created her
Mother
The salty water
The beach
People
The woman beautiful
The woman my mother
We at a beach
Higgins Beach
Maine
1953
My mother slaps my back
I spew ocean
Alive
An escapee from the nothingness of infancy
My first thought as a child
I love this
Life
Same as now
Alive always alive
Forever to never
Again___
