I hold you in my arms
and know pure joy.
Soft new skin,
eyes a deep blue,
tiny toes on tiny feet,
a pale curl or two
over your wee brow.
You coo and I melt.
How can I love you more
than life in only a beat
of time?
How can I not?
You made me a mom
and took part of my soul.
I love you, baby boy,
to the moon and back.

Silence
I don’t remember the day the world ended. But I do remember the day I noticed. That photo was it, but I did not know what it meant until I sat in my darkened bathroom, staring at the newly developed film. The street was neither empty, nor abandoned. It was dead. The colours of the flowers wrapped in that red ribbon caught my eye, and as I crouched to take that photo, I could hear only the lonely silence of a graveyard after dark.
