Love Song
the base
of beginning
may be covered
albeit forgotten
but no less
there
for a baby’s needs
are but basic
neath the shelter of trees
be it
food or drink
clean diapers
or sleep
or someone
to sing
a certain song
that will last
however
long
for when
the lullaby
is neigh
and the back
too stooped
to see stars
and the grass too brown
to be green
and the faucet too hard
to turn
there is
but the base
neath the shelter of trees
be it
food or drink
clean diapers
or sleep
or someone
to sing
a certain song
that will last
however
long
