That a little girl lives in here. When I forget or fall asleep she kicks and punches me awake. When I fall into the monotonous tasks of my work she makes me laugh at the computer screen with a sprawling twist against my ribcage. My shoulders shrug in church and I want to say: "did anyone else feel that?" Husband can see her now, with the patience of a whalewatcher--the times she surfaces against my skin and makes waves waving to us.Thursday, May 03, 2007
Always Something There to Remind Me
