A Walk With The Baby
She points at the clover growing from the stoop’s cracked step
at a golden cat’s tail behind the dumpster
at a contrail splitting the blue sky.
She points at a team of ants stacking mounds of dirt,
at a contrail splitting the blue sky.
She points at a team of ants stacking mounds of dirt,
a spiked sweet gum pod breaking loose,
a surprise seagull in the city.
She points at me, makeupless, sweat-beaded.
a surprise seagull in the city.
She points at me, makeupless, sweat-beaded.
She points at me.

Loved the images through babies eyes!
reminds me of how excruciatingly slowly I had to walk with my toddlers who stopped and examined everything, love your poem
I enjoy the images!
I so enjoyed this poem–its images, the repeat of pointing, especially at the end.
I love this
