At Six Months
Active
reaching breaching
temporary walls
for safety or sanity
letting her go
while holding her tight

Circular
My house is circular
with all roads leading
to the kitchen
Angela wheels
round and round
drawing my heart's hold tighter

Upside Down
She hangs upside down
now in my arms
Smiling chuckling
demanding the unusual attitude
Two hundred days
from the womb
already she knows
life frequently is better
seen in reverse
