Mudchild
Four years ago, she helped move soil
from one garden bed to another, a bare-handed
nine-year-old child and today she is thirteen
going on twenty-one, grown like a weed, my
babygirl a little woman as I plead with the world
to let her alone and take her in, allow her to spin
song and fertilized thought –
my flower offspring who brings
me presence each morning, and
when she was born, I counted each
hand full of piano fingers and once
I knew all were there, I dared to let her
play and today, I hear the vocalist on stage,
digging into roots, harmonizing with the garden
she has become.

four years ago, she
roamed the meadows,
bound flower garlands,
blew dandelions,
and hugged her friend.
she's nine now,
and grown.
and she still does.
