2023 AWAKENING xii

  1. sickle moon
    sleeping baby
    curls out of sight
  2. spring rain
    counting newborn’s
    tears
  3. peeking at
    newborn’s sleeping head…
    hazy moon
  4. hazy moon —
    newborn’s head between
    sleeping blankets
  5. morning drizzle
    newborn baby with piss-poor
    aim
  6. moon-gazing
    watching closely
    sleeping baby
  7. powdered snow
    baby formula
    stretched to nothing
  8. dry avalanche…
    baby formula
    falling straight down
  9. blown away
    by newborn’s farts…
    autumn chill
  10. sleeping newborn
    with high fevers
    summer heat
