Haiku for Anna (29/01/06)
Big blue eyes, they stare
Long arms wave indignantly
Best smile in the world
Feeding Time (29/01/06)
I gaze down into your eyes,
Deep blue, soft and fuzzy
(angora sweater eyes)
Your tiny hands make startled, jerky movements,
like trumpet blasts in a marching band
(spiky dancing)
Your hungry mouth grazing the air,
searching.
(smells like mum
)
You drink from me like drowning
Feels as if I am dissolving in your mouth
(in a sense I am)
With your long arms and legs,
you are all angles against your tiny body,
Staccato, high C
(Your looks are music to my ears)
All packaged together,
You are my little girl,
lunching,
and that sounds/feels/smells/tastes/looks like home to me.
