15 weeks to go

There was firstly a sense of
organic systems being checked
In an orderly fashion
Breasts – check
Vascular – check
Hormone levels – check

And a gathering in my belly
That was you

Now proficient
At imitating large Koi dancing
Unless a calming hand interrupts and settles
Picking your times now I see
And replying to dancers tones and resonant rhythms
Sending you into an energetic spin

You are pushing gently on all points

And our eyes are sharpening

And our hands are quickening

Can’t wait to meet you
