life afloat

the umilical cord snapped and a new contract began
from the cusp of life and death
a child emerged
nameless
the eternity of the womb ended
and a new eternity forced open
the cosmos of snubbed hopes
and dangling lifelines
a mesh of crossroads
each leading nowhere
making a choice
the child shall crawl
until the contract comes to an end
