The Hawk Slipper Chair

5:26 am

Eye have dreamt of  A Baby —

A Musical Baby

He mimicked My Googely Voice

My Cooing Voice

My Silly Voice.

I found Him in a blue terry sleeper

lying smiling on a floor

I carefully, so carefully picked Him up

I put Him 2 My Left Shoulder

& We played A Game of Music

He responded 2 any sound I made

& I delighted in Him

My Baby.

I fed Him

from My Left Breast

& He played w My Hair

w His Left Hand

silhouetted against

gleaming streaks of gold

waving in a magical Light

as We moved.
