Lying here, with plenty
of time to think,
Do I go for the bottle?
less
work, but feels fake.
That place where we are close,
Natures giver of love and warmth
best medicine for me to drink?
Bottle
Pro: I can be lazy, just suckle that fool all day.
I'm held by mummy & daddy.
Cons: No closeness even though held,
the bottle is no substitute for skin on skin contact.
Milk giver
Pro: I feel mummies heart beat, closeness of her
giving, us time as a wonder of to sleep.
Con: trying to grip is like holding a pickle slippery
and when you think you have it slips again?
"What's a pickle"
Trying not to be suffocated by those things,
A kid has to breath....
I contemplate these thoughts, I chat to my friend he was born
5 minutes before me, thinks age brings wisdom.
"for me its not the bottle I need my mommy next to me"
"don't you miss you daddies smile"
"what's a daddy? I haven't seen one of those"
I cry as who wouldn't want to hold us.
I ponder my thoughts, bleary vision, but I hear my parents
talking. And decide that I like the bottle as it brings me closer
to mummy and daddy. Even though feeling mummies
warmth, and being serenaded by her heart beat.
I love the feeling of hearing and feeling there voices
holding my closely.
And I tried to feed off daddies milk givers,
his were hairy, tickling my nose,
I'm not trying that again.
