At First Sight


Singular entry

Opposes the multiple passenger delivery

In most vicinity

Split second happy limbs stretch first stench

Of environs lower limbs kick run then a shriek comes

Deep down in lungs dread yet lovely to the ear blink wink open eye stare

Into the first female

Create a bond rare no man dare tear or wear

This out without a doubt

The transmission

Through warm milk sprout

Out into mouth

With affection

Innate protection

Natural instinct like wink don’t think

Regardless of the damage inflict on the highway street

Of mortal journey

Oh Sonny

I will love and cherish sealed with this milk fill

Now until i kneel bend over bow and lie down

Through joys and frowns

I will remain always true and proper

To you this i promise; as a mother
