For Michelle
"Your Birth Day"
I was three
and given a sponge...
one of those sponges that grows exponentially with water.
Me, being Aquarius and all,
I remembered a leaky pipe.
I remember sitting on the floor with the cabinet open...
Holding my sponge under the pipe below...
Watching my sponge grow.
When they told me your name, I wondered how a baby could be so strong as to mush shells.
I was three
and given a sister.
One of those sisters who grows exponentially with wonder.
Me, being three and all,
I was out of the news loop.
I was fast asleep when they announced you...
But I watched you...
I watched that baby grow.
When they told me your name, I wondered how a baby could be so strong as to mush shells.
I watched you
I watched you grow, Michelle.
