Twin Poems Poem by Atef Ayadi

Sweat mixed
With pain
Time of first
Labor

Push!
Push!
Breathe now!
Breathe!
Push
Again!
Push again!
Here it is
the first of the twin's;
It is a male
Poem.
Breathe now!
Take one more
Breath
Push now!
Push!
Push!
Push again!
I can see the head.
Breathe!
Breathe 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;
It comes
With a big pain
And two
Healthy
Heavy
Twin poems.
