A poem written for friends who had their first child.
Nuzzling my breast, your large eyes staring at me
Through a haze of unknowing, so full of trust.
You accept the barrage of sensations
And respond with meaningful silence.

I try to translate into words
What is being written in your heartbeats.
Those luminous songs.
I wonder what they are saying.

We have lived before this day in two separate bodies,
As other moments of ourselves dreaming about now.

I archive memories of you.
Your first breaths,
Your first sighs,
The first time I saw myself in your smile.
