Twin Poems

Sweat mixed
With pain
Time of first
Labor

Push
Push
Breath  now
Breath.
Push
Again
Push again
Here it is Twin
It is a male
Poem
Breath now 
Take one more 
Breath
Push now
Push
Push
Push again
I can see the head
Breath 
Breath again
And push
The second twin is
Coming out.
Push
Push 
Do not stop
Push.
Here it is
The second twin baby
It is a 
A female poem

What names
I am going to 
Choose for them?
This pregnancy
Is not the fruit
Of a romantic
Love
But it comes
With a big pain
And two 
Healthy
Heavy
Twin poems.
