the flicker of a little girl.
Waiting for her to emerge
out of her little cocoon.
Waiting for her first smile
and now it's here
melting my heart
strengthening it
till it can never break again
never a crack in the crystal
until she starts to cry
scream until she is red in the face
and I know not what to do
I know not what she wants.
She wakes me in the morning
so gently
my little girl.
