I am undone and
Remade and
Wrung out and
Filled up and
Every other thing a person can be
When their universe
Shifts
So completely.
You are my new axis .
My centre of gravity has
Realigned
Into place
Into the space we have been holding for
You
For so long.
I do not know
How something so small can be
So infinitely huge.
But there you are.
Real as anything.
And every heartache we have carried
On our way to you
Is dwarfed
By the magnitude of love you brought with you
Into this world.
Convention will say it was you
Who was born that day.
But really
It was me.
