Finishing Project, Day 1.


The sound of a letter followed seamlessly by "ahh"
repeated musically 
in a rosebud mouth


is babble to some
perhaps
or annoyance to the heartless few

but to me it is an incantation
that puts butterflies in my stomach
and lights these tired eyes
.


Who among us isn't bewitched by the sound of a soul
discovering their body?

If any hands should raise

I suspect they are neither mother
nor
my heart's kindred.
