Baby's strange arrival.

She coos

With that vacant look

Infants sport.

Oblivious except for

The sense of welfare

In parents' Aroma

And chuckles.



As if remembering

Another world of

Nine months

Of juices, lullabies

Heartbeat.

The pressed hand

Caressing through

Fleshly partition.

Baby Elizabeth.

Another Queen

Always attaining

Her desire.

Always compelling service.

With cherubic smiles.
