Groans of the Dawn

Tears trickling down her heavy cheeks as 
she lays
on the thick straw mat.
The souls of trees casting reflections into 
her hut.
Her emotions turning against themselves.
She is caught napping with a task on her 
whole.
Shouts of avid misconstrue out of blissful
ignorance
how she wished pain was contagious as 
her aids
guess her cries are prepostrous.
Hearts throb and sweats drip.
The agony being endured draws her 
body numb
as the morning dew sweeps a soothing 
breeze
across.
She throws her hand for help because 
she is
weary to the pulp as the life in her 
emanates from
root.
The last hot blood in her boils down and 
calm
returns to her in a split with fresh breath 
pumping
ease into her lungs.
A new being has been born.
