The day you were born - small homunculus
already in charge -
never spoke or took in small
affections or knew how to cry.
Then yesterday a man of soul
read poems that made you
hear with baby ears.
I saw your face
grow tender into innocence.
Is some fierce part of me in you,
that brash, profane, fuck-me
self turned tender, sentimental?
