Baby

Be gentle, like powder

I’ll come when you call

Caress me for hours

Please don’t let me fall





Feed me, naïve me,

All dazed, young, and wavy

Please me, don’t leave me

Your darling, your baby





A fuzzy duck suckling

All cozy and coy

All daisy pick plucking

With love like a toy





From cradle to bed,

Made to be your spoon little

Menagerie of glass

Tiny horse, tiny fiddle





I’m baby, I’m kitty, I’m yours to the tee

No power, no asks, my love is for free

As long as I’m living, forever I’ll be

Swaddled in blanket, between you and me
