Love set you going like a fat gold w...Morning Song<br /><br />Love set you going like a fat gold watch.<br />The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry<br />Took its place among the elements.<br /><br />Our voices echo, magnifying your arrival. New statue.<br />In a drafty museum, your nakedness<br />Shadows our safety. We stand round blankly as walls.<br /><br />I'm no more your mother<br />Than the cloud that distils a mirror to reflect its own slow<br />Effacement at the wind's hand.<br /><br />All night your moth-breath<br />Flickers among the flat pink roses. I wake to listen:<br />A far sea moves in my ear.<br /><br />One cry, and I stumble from bed, cow-heavy and floral<br />In my Victorian nightgown.<br />Your mouth opens clean as a cat's. The window square<br /><br />Whitens and swallows its dull stars. And now you try<br />Your handful of notes;<br />The clear vowels rise like balloons.Mar Nwe Ayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309909625879904635noreply@blogger.com
