We

measure

our

days

quietly

learning about

Whales

and

how

much

they

love

their babies,

parting the sea

to

bring forth

new

life,

singing

mystical lullabies

until all the salt water

in the

deep wounds

of the earth

implode

with

love.

This,

is the deep work

of the womb.

— On how my heart loves you.

(For D.)
