Transition

The black ceiling closes down 
on me
a spasm of pain rocks my 
whole being
the world is no longer mine
dreams has been crushed
the black ceiling retreats 
fearfully back
a woman is born of a girl
the cracked mirror 
shamedfacedly reflects a 
bruised face
questions passes through 
swollen lips
but the creator is mute now
He is gazing at a father's baby 
in his daughter's womb.
