Message to the unborn
Inside you mother
you have grown big enough
to make yourself felt:
little love nugget
that won't allow us to forget
your presence,
kicking like a rabbit pup
against the palm of my hand.
You do not know it
but you too have the long road to travel,
will have your chance
to pass on an unbroken line,
to read these words and see me buried
and grow old before the oak
has finished adding rings.
