should we lament


should we lament

should we lament
the sperm that didn’t make the womb
or the precious egg
that fell out far too soon 
or the day we went our separate way
and rend our troth pledged to the moon
it was meant to be
it was not you or me
that fell apart down the days

the torso of the earth is often bleak
caves and mountains dark and light
and try as we might
we never found the love we sought
yet bought the time to crave a
love that we could take to our grave

so lament not our gamete games
in gonadotropin trust and beg
that egg will meet sperm
and sperm meet egg
and start all over again
