Born

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.
