Biological Clock

Snaking our bodies together

melted and warm

thermal oasis

loving words spoken

by my searing flame

I want us to have

a baby together

carbon copy of us

reminder of this

ready to surrender

to biological clock

before it strikes

number too high

but are we willing

to include another

taking time

from each other?

He looks outside

and says yes

but deep inside

he says no

and I remain

unsatisfied

ready to move on

to seek creation.
