My small one
Her breath, her smile
And the smell behind her ears
I celebrate her
Her tears
Her eye twitch
And her wet mouth
I celebrate her movement
Her hips, her patella
I celebrate her voice, her earnest voice
I am her creator, her home, and her comfort
I drink her tears
And I am her love, hate, and earth in one
I am her nurturer, her provider, her nest, and her shackles
I am her flesh and her bones
Her fluids are mine and mine are hers
My small one
My truly mine
Her laughter and her most certain uncertainty
Her realness, her anger, and her trust
My earth monster
My celebration
Today is for her, and today is for me
For choosing to make her, to keep her, and to love her
My earth monster
