If I am that born poet
you speak of
then you delivered me
with skilled and loving hands
cutting me out of the womb
of protected insecurity
a witness to my unlikely birth
result of my unlikely conception
the child of flame and sky
burning with gratitude
flying with the freedom
those skilled and loving hands
granted me
which is the most valuable gift
that can ever be given
to celebrate the birth
of a born poet
