just moments after
being born in our bedroom
little man sniffed out
the source!
imagine all the changes he has adapted to
in an instant -
suddenly surrounded by air, not liquid,
breathing air - (is it dry? cold?),
eyes receiving light, not cosy dark,
stomach filled from his mouth, not drip fed by a willing placenta,
being touched by human hands, not swirling around alone,
the sharp noises, not dulled by distance. loud! close!
limbs outstretched - a new sensation as he unwrapped himself from his little ball, into the world.
what a day.
