Surrogate

.Aiks is
            wanting
                            another baby
not
wanting to carry it
                                    consulting Lakhehsis
she decides
      to have Pahn
      inseminate
         a surrogate

Having
                         searched
for a while
they find            a             prostitute
 
                           and discuss
with the bellhop
the terms—
                           for $500
                             sitting
                                      in a chair
                                      in an elevator
the bellhop says
                                      Pahn may
 
                   But Pahn declines
remembering
                                 Djuturna
                         and thinks
                                            that it should

                                                           be she
