Family Picture

Turquoise, pink, Aztec pattern covers your plump apple belly growth
that I want to capture.
A lean fading shadow lies down dull on the bleak stale sand.
It attempts to draw you both towards the horizontal depths of water,
but you grow vertically, secure on the smoothly lit land.
Yes, hold him or her, include them in our picture.
No speech just listen to your sibling supported by your own Mother's core.
In your isolation you hold onto this vibrant, natural pyramid.
And as the light lowers it leaves its glow on your fresh, exposed flesh faces
and captures the foetus with its expectant shade.
