The woman shook as her heart
beat loudly between soft palms.
She watched it,
confused and curious both,
as the child tucked it away
into static-lined folds
of its pastel green blanket.
And the woman said to herself
as she was reborn:
this new babe,
tender and sweet as he is,
has killed me with love
of his utter
innocence.
