« What's Going on Out There? | Main | Children of Men by P. D. James »

1 a.m., Nearly 2, Late summer

You came so clean
The others were envious

So wizened, you looked
Already, despite your newness:
An upturned face scrunched
Hands folded, lotus-like
Clasped and overlapped

So quizzical and bright
Immediately reaching.
Instinct taking over

What love!
There is no comparison
Yet found to match this.

You took over distances
In that room
Rocking us through and through

My love
My love
My little cub
My little lion
