It is coming hard into this hard world

It is coming hard into this hard life

Tender and spongy as a velvet towel
layers of skin still pealing and pealing,
the soft feather like hand with its
Growing nail inadvertently moving
hither and thither , Scratching its face,
a filmy line of blood stain , narrowly
missed the eyes below, it has come
a hard way, into this hard world,
The creator’s just perfected,
Completed entity, the baby into
The mother’s arm, sharing warmth,
To counteract the cold of this earth,
It is coming hard into this hard life.
