Glass baby

[whitman]

The tattooed clock on my back is ticking,
the glass baby inside me is kicking.
The wind helps me give birth,
to this exotic child of different earth.

[jikan myshkin]

why glass?

[firefangled]

The tattooed clock on my back is ticking,
the glass baby inside me is kicking.
The wind helps me give birth,
to this exotic child of different earth.

The title was intriguing and I was not disappointed. To me it does not seem so much strange as sad - a glass humanity.

I enjoyed this.
