Drypoint plate image
of toddler -- call'd "Baby" --
surrenders it's feath'ry look
post twelfth impression:
"Baby" unburr'd,
"Baby" unburr'd,
"Baby" unburr'd!
"Baby" unburr'd...?
"Baby" unburr'd...?
Boo-hoo! "Baby" unburr'd!
Newborn emerges
from brief incubation
required due to sharp drop
in said newborn's body temp:
Baby un"B-r-r-r-r!"'d!
Baby un"B-r-r-r-r!"'d!
Baby un"B-r-r-r-r!"'...?
Baby un"B-r-r-r-r!"'...?
Bless you! Baby un"B-r-r-r-r!"'d!
Neonate suff'ring
a difficult birth --
one whose mom is Tibetan --
twixt life and rebirth hovers:
Baby in bardo,
baby in bardo!
Baby in bardo...? Om-m-m-m-m-m-m...
(Baby in bardo!)
