my astonished belly
has lately become
a fishbowl
and you, little fish
winged mermaid
dancing citizen
of my inner seas
you sang to me
long before
your 17 weeks
long before I first saw
your tiny arms
doing freestyle
on the screen
your feet waving
in gentle currents
little fish, as I feel you
blowing bubbles
in my belly
I can’t help but smile.
Yes. This is my biggest 'creative' project for the year!
