A Hundred Children

By Sam Vaknin

Written by Sam Vaknin

Tell me about your sunshine

and the sounds of coffee

and of barefeet pounding the earthen floor

the creaking trees

and the skinned memory of hugs

you gave

and you received.

Sit down, yes, here,

the intermittent sobbing

of the shades

slit by your golden face.

Now listen to the hundred children

that are your womb.

I am among them.
