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
