Hannah, at One (6/13/85)

Once in a while I'm moved to poetry,
Seeing her face while she lingers in sleep.
Her face has the form of her mother's, the substance of all-at-once 
     discovery.
Her fingers, her little songs, her newly born walk,
Short seeking steps.
She will be me, she will be you, she will be her.
I can really see all this.
