salmon flash upstream
an urgency to breed
eggs float underwater
seed coat splits open
sprout pierces into light
leaf nodes bulge green
ripe chrysalis rips gently
wet monarch emerges
stretches sticky wings
moment of conception
multiple cell divisions
quickening in her womb
strong uterine contractions
now little hooves appear
cow licks fresh calf
mare wickers softly
new foal stands wobbly
searching for teat
chubby babe rolls over
sits up with support
takes first steps to daddy
