the curve of her stomach
has reversed
press your ear against it
and you can hear the
little thumping
feathers whisper louder than this
ants tread harder than this
petals float stronger than this
so breakable
it is
you are
he is
she will be
in the palms of our hand
and we'll pass her
around
and smile at her toes
that will walk someday
and tickle her stomach
that she will one day suck in
the curve of her stomach
has reversed
press your ear against it
and the thumping will be
gone
grown louder
in your arms
