An old man once told me that before the baby comes, the man says now now now and the woman says future future future. Once the baby comes, the woman can say now now now and the man has to think about the future.
Beautiful. There are points in there, presented with great warmth for your new bond and for language. The Twombly is apt. We named one of our sons Cy, btw.
Post more poems, please. You're writing in a venerable tradition.
Just read The Great Debasement- excellent counterpoint to the utilitarian turn of public aesthetics
Gorgeosity, thanks for sharing

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, and thank you for the two lovely poems! Contrast in mood was fun.
These are beautiful poems, Alice. Thank you for sharing them here.
