Kingdom of heaven

by Tsiviltidou Zoi

To make babies
To crawl home to
Across all seas, all ships
Across the wisdom of the heart
To sacrifice to learn
To feel compassion, to get scared
Associatively coherent
Vulnerable
To get the inventor’s thrill
Curious why the light has hid
Inside the womb
To feel incompetent
Accountable, fulfilled
Intuitively wise
Across the kingdom of heaven
To bare pain indefinitely
As kids grow and go
To make babies
To crawl home to
