She holds him when he cries
and gently coos ‘Oh Sweetie, what’s wrong?’
He sometimes seems to listen,
but being so newly arrived
in this world of sensation and light
he mostly wriggles and cries.
My daughter is the mother
and little Isa is the infant,
yet witnessing their ancient
dance of comfort and love,
I find myself in all the parts.
Isa will not remember these hours
of cuddling and cooing except,
perhaps, in his deepest heart
where some possibility of living
at ease in this surprising world
may always be with him.
Follow David!
