In my dream

I’d had a baby but due to a difficult birth

I was dis-associated from it

I’d walked away

But when I heard the baby cry

I found myself, as if in a trace,

Picking her up……and

Putting her to my breast

Her small mouth -the latch.

The profound wonder of it.

“““““““““““““““““““““““

Sometimes parts of ourselves miraculously return.

A cellular change

I feel different, more calm.

She and I are connected.
