Haikus

I thought I couldn't post tonight, because the baby was asleep in my arms, and I took him off to bed. But I composed these while gazing at his little face (and remembering this afternoon when I came back to him after tutoring math for an hour) and just laid him down in my warm body imprint and snuck off to my computer to type these:

Like a hungry chick

My desperate baby cries

Lashes dripping tears

Like a mama bird

I fly to hold and nurse him

Now soothed in my arms
