the baby & the poem

he comes over, sweet little husky voice “mama, mama”, 

as if we haven’t seen each other in hours, 

it’s only been about 10 minutes

how delicious it is to have someone who’s always happy to see you

who reacts to your smile as if the light has been flicked on and they can see now

“hi, mama!”, little peach hands grip thick comforter and pull

soft plump thighs scrambling, feet pushing 

he nestles himself into me

his sweet momotaro body plops warm on top of mine

we mold so nicely together, we are one 

warm, safe, perfect...this moment is eternal

i want to record it

i want to write it down

i pick him up put him beside me

to type it into my mac

he sits innocently staring

then climbs off of the bed 

runs into the livingroom

the moments is over

i miss it already

sitting there on the bed

with my laptop
