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
