He conceived you
Wrote you
Those acts for you
Unfold relentlessly

A stethoscope he hears
Your heart-lines well known
The days you bent
Or contract at contacts

A moon he watches
The geometry shapes you create in bed
Or the oceans let loose
The hedgehogs on your skin
He cried a shimmering tear

He kisses you
Work you
So don’t you love
The boy across
