these days





these are the days we'll remember
nursing back down to sleep
from evening waking

indignant, heavy warm babe
possessive arm snaked over my neck
he is busy these days and stimulated
rare moments of quiet

he is entirely himself
a bundle of emotions
learning anger, frustration, love
joy and concentration

book love
every day a different title becomes the focus
of repeated readings
of focused attention
of anticipation

discovery. delight. disappointments.

a fourteen month life.
