- using her fingers
concerned mum searches
for a slight fever - lingering summer heat
hazy memories
of baby’s fever - papa’s lullaby
changing its timbre…
skin-chilling air - crawling baby
shrinks its shadow
hazy moon - day moon
so many shapes
of nappies - autumn chill…
singing mother speaks
in her mother’s tongue - winter fog last photo of my youth
- sleeping newborn
stays in my arms
day moon - feeding spoon
the full moon’s
eternal smile - soup spoon —
sunlight seeps into
my bones
