Bejewelled


This little piece of gold

will not be enough

to feed the fruit 

of my swelling belly.


And it will take bigger scales 

to weigh out the quantities

we will need to survive.


But I still have jewels to sell

and I think they will be

enough.


I shall weigh them carefully.


It’s in the balance

but I think there will be 

enough.
