The forgotten birth after me, <br />a pair <br />was my twin <br />Ignored; they stared at me <br />but not him <br />Wail and distress <br />I moved with <br />the splashed white <br /> <br />But he never <br />My fingers twitched <br />He was still <br />I was bathed <br />but he was shut away <br />In the morgue <br />Blue <br /> <br />Remember me, my brother too, <br />a pair <br />Like the midwife did <br />when she smiled <br />But he never smiled <br />He never did <br /> <br />I was wrapped in the <br />white shawl <br />He was wrapped in the <br />white coffin and sunk <br />While I rose <br /> <br />Remember us.<br /><br />Ben Barton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-re-birth-remembered/
