Hyperactive today
Turning, squirming, kicking, awake.
Trousers no longer close, maternity clothes I should get.
Watching my belly, soft, strange, new movements
Stronger heart beating
He takes a shower, looks at my naked, pregnant form.
Different, beautiful, fuller.
Heat today, beautiful morning, evening light, but day time strength too much
Heat goes to my head, black, yellow, green vision
Give me cold ice cream now!
Crèches, crèches another new administrative journey through Belgium
Imagining leaving an as yet unborn child, I don’t yet know how powerful this pull will be.
