Remember Me? (1979)
Remember me?
I'm your mama Who carried you
nine-month belly warmth
kayak peapod journey
to opening night
and love-crawls breastward
your bird-mouth seeking
suckling
through sing-song lullaby
rock-me-gently bedtime intimacy
and (god, I love you) quiet moments
to first step accomplishments
giggles and discoveries
and, hey, you said my name time
to hugs and spills and tears
and fears . . . and losing you
after 17 short months
and seeing you now infrequently
at jumping joyous five
arms open, eyes seeking
Remember me?
I'm your mama.
