I love you before
I knew who you were
Before entering the light
I fell in love with your voice
I sway to your rhythm in your belly
I follow your circumference without
Feeling your touch
I just knew you love me
The way you carried me for nine months
You did not know what I look like
You just knew how i felt
from a touch
Swollen feet to an aching arch
As I quietly Nest in your belly
My growth is slowing tearing you apart
A body within a body
The more capacity consumes
in your belly
Yet You still reached out to carry me
In your arms
To not fully understand outside the birth canal
But To discover your first love
(Mother )
