my first-born
a red sun seeks refuge
in night’s embrace
i
travel through my body
to
reach you
i
live each breath of yours
through
winding tributaries
of
arteries and veins
i
race to keep pace
with
the flow of my blood
your
blood
i
shiver through contractions
of
every muscle in the womb
their
finer movements converge
in
your tiny being
in creases of smiling thoughts
i
live a secret dream with you
sharing
unspoken words
i
turn the needles of my clock
for
dawn to step in early
weaving
tomorrow’s face
magic
in your first cry
in
answer to the call of the world
in
touching you
i
touch the face of god
today
another sun rises
alongside
the diurnal morning star.
