Laboratory-Assisted
Reproduction
Add eggs from cloistered places,
From gonads goaded into gravid opulence
And sperm suffused with ancestral potency.
Then gametes join in dark synthetic climes
Bear primal planes to present times.
Formed from their infatuated union,
Transferred by my tinkers hands
To your waiting womb
The embryo has it way and names you mother.
I have often probed that fecund place,
And in the dark vista of my sonic vision,
Sought the motion of a nascent heart
Bearing witness to life,
Beating ceaselessly within us,
Joining all creatures past, present, future -
From the first conjugal meeting.
