Happy 17 Months Angel

Remembering 12/20/2009

you came with a push and a gush
that blew out every candle in my life
and set ablaze a fire that fueled itself with blood
my blood

two sets of arms, pressing down on my middle
my head rose with a Oh! and my shoulders popped up
and you popped out
with a cry
so deep my dreams paused to look
and fear unmasked itself

i blinked and you were there
you cried and my heart knew you
your voice, my strings
your eyes, my vision
your life, my soul
