Oh Mercy Khalid... this piece has such a powerful meaning and message... I feel your talking about woman and child here.. possible the birth of one and the loss of another? Oh wow, I may be way off but im finding this piece to be very thought provoking... love this!

Two women... His mother and his wife.

In the first one, he was born. And the second one gives her life to him. To be with him... So both women give life to him.

Insightful piece.

Wow. I love this.

In the first woman's belly
his life has started

^^That line is so beautiful. So much said in so little words. Great write!

And yet he has to take care of them both for a time! This is a very good piece. The mother teaches a man how to hold the heart of another.

This Tanka is a Masterpiece of thought provoking wisdom

Oh, I took from this a father and husband as the man, and the women are his partner and she is carrying his daughter.

Nice piece!

At first, I was drawn to read this because of the title, and yes, I thought the man has two partner at a time. But, after I finish reading, I am totally amazed by this tiny piece because it speaks the life of every man living. Great choice of words, and that makes this piece seems lovely.

Well-penned!
