this is your mountain,
this part is steep and hard
but the summit is in sight
little further, little more, almost there
we rocked and massaged and
spoke our way through labor
sometimes she roared
and in between contractions daddy
said he would name the lion cub Ari
if it were a boy
but it wasn't
a little girl, with dark hair and big eyes
slipped into the world
(a pillow placed below the birth stool. just in case.)
so perfect
