Whispers



Elinor, that would be your name


In strange, foreign latitudes
we swim in oceans
calm, pacific

as they watch us, talking about you and me

they can see

our happiness




We sit and dry
on fields of grass

as we visualize the fauna
underneath us, all around us

tiny creatures in the soil

nurturing




And so at night
I lift you up

show your face to the stars

and ask the Moon to baptize you
with her gentle gray dust





Such a Proud father I am of you

my unborn daughter
