its not early
Place of Still Births
is not the same as Birth of Still
Places
Steve Roach off his Dynamic
Stillness album
gotta wonder why he
read it that way
still births arent still places
he couldnt imagine the roilingshattering emotions
his births were forgiven
he and his wife hadaside from morning sickness otherwise effortless pregnancies and
births textbook
they did not take
that for granted and were grateful
healthy happy
babies ten fingerten toes
only hitch in the gittyup was
their first baby
who didnt look like any of the names they selected and she set precedent thereafternever learning the babies sexes they refused to pick names for them those names mad-near-magickally mad-near-magickally isnt
damn-near-magickally for some reason a
tough morning their names damn-near-magickally
presented on their own almost as if the
babies named themselves
think
about it how many people wish they were given different names
he didnt mind his
he
even liked who he was named after
it wasnt a family
name
Right on
Mom and Dad
but he digressed
Place of Still Births
paints a picture he imagined Hieronymus
Bosch might paint
