My consciousness is lulled
Racing through oceans and miles
Nibbling over my fingers
The number of days and months
Tracing in anxiety
Through the mirror of my mind
The image of the infant

Are now all echoes
Being reviewed in my skull
Hopelessly capturing a sight
Of her growing up
An unfolding so beautiful
That I will never witness
At all.
