The Unborn Children
The Unborn Children
music: Nancy Magarill/Mikiodo
poem by Spalding Gray with permission of Kathie Russo

I have children in me
unborn children
in my eyes and in my thighs
i feel them in my hips
these unborn children in my hips
these unborn children in my hips

I have children in me
playing hide and seek in my hips
they come out to you through my eyes
they don't find it impossible to love through my eyes
they don't find it impossible to love through my eyes

Letting them out, the unborn children in glass shells, glass splinters
to all the places in earth splinters
in hesitation to be born, hesitation

I have children in me
unborn children Eyes stop the world
in my hips they hesitate
and play hide and seek
(these unborn children)
my sun sets in my groin
glass heat
