2023 AWAKENING xv

142. rolling thunder
     a flurry of baby farts
     felt in my arms
     
143. full moon
     under sleeping blanket
     snoring baby
     
144. folded nappies
     in neat piles
     snowy peaks
     
145. squatting baby
     its butt prints hardening…
     mud dumplings
     
146. spring leaves —
     baby’s handprints
     is something to cherish
     
147. evening breeze
     baby and mother exchange
     yawns
     
148. baby rolls
     towards my feet
     worm moon
     
149. wiping baby drool
     from its mouth…
     melting icicles
     
150. sinking moon—
     sleeping baby sinks
     then disappears
     
151. crescent moon
     newborn curls upon
     my knees
     
152. excited baby
     summons his mummy
     clapping thunder
