Portland Haiku

welcome little girl,
to our family, our world.
i love you roxy.

a week from today
my family will have grown.
by one, and then some.

head full of fuzzy.
nose full of fuzzy and things.
being sick? not fun.

time grows short and near.
a life quickening, ready.
very soon my child

humid raid falling.
that east coast thick heat blanket,
wrapping us all up.

i repeat myself,
circuitously even.
i repeat myself.

stretching my body.
has quite a clearing effect.
a pureness of thought.

things dissemble, hide.
searching, to find more of them.
only to get lost.

sleep beckons, childlike.
a whisper of innocence.
sweet dreams for my love.

a new family,
with the addition of one.
a new life begins.
