A ‘Waltz wave’ poem
your
tiny
head
against
my shoulder;
your heart-
beat
against
my breast; your
body swaddled
securely
to keep
you
safe and
warm; ever
wrapped in
my
mama-
love

Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

I remember feeling something like that. So powerful that in one of my unpublished stories the call of his toddler’s love pulls the protagonist back from the edge of a haunting river death temptation.
