Once upon an ultrasound...

Arley - we saw you today.

You are small.

But you make a big impression.

While the world debates

Your implications,

You are quiet.

Cuddled.

A dormant explorer.

A friend in wait.

My daughter.

To visit you

Is to know how much knowing 

Can pass between the observer 

And the observed.

They say you can hear now.

Which one of us is the better listener?

In nine months 

I hear nine million words.

Be one of them.
