| The Mother of All ... | |

I thought the metaphor of a suicide bomber as a pregnant woman might work. Not really sure whether it does. What does anyone else think? Last line is taken from another poem and is what set it off (sorry!) In the shadow of a greater power In luminous certainty of the dream not hatred for ‘Great Satan' but for joy. ‘All American' soon to meet the fate - pregnancy paused, shortly to shatter the gentle comfort of the night.
