Lillie Wooten
Alternates to baby
The vulnerability to feel
With someone so near
Getting something wrong, no need to fear
There’s no scolding tone here
The tears wiped into the skin
The freckles and moles and dots
Those that don’t go when your face drops
The sunrise on that one morning
The sunset when the mood is right
The bit off nails
The messed up cuticles on that very night
The warmth and security of
Two bodies that meet
Legs intertwined
Hearts
And then minds
Alternates to baby
Mine
