The Birth of a New Day

I find you,
Wrapped around me
Connected below the waist.

Clench my back
And dig towards my heart
To find out
Who I am

Would you be afraid to follow me?
If you found out
Who I was?

I am Ojibway

A man of the Earth
My feet planted in the city

You breathe is hard upon my ear
Unexpressed whispers hidden
Between bites on my neck

I’m close to you
Closer then you want

Who would I find?
If I slowly went a little deeper
And unfolded you
Towards the birth of a new day

Hugs

Dad!
Yeah, bud?
Can you help me?
Sure.

I sit beside you
Place my arm around you
And realize

You didn’t need help
You just wanted a hug.
