carried along on the scent of honeysuckle
outside my bedroom window. . . .

the scent of rain and fresh cut grass
into the old church as the trio plays
Beethoven with passion and life.
I watch and wonder as the pages turn,

Does the urge to sooth a crying baby
ever leave a woman who has even
just once given birth?
The desire to breathe in the baby scent,
