MOMMA'S BABYA Poem by ROXANE DORSEYwhat a baby needs
Kid you see, you and me. Birth or Death.
I rolled the dice, took a chance on Life. Where Love begins. Your eyes & mine meets for the first time. We're ages apart and you can't talk. Your words are cries. Crying for mom's listening ears. Wet cry, No! Hot cry, Why? Poop stench never ends! Diaper duty, mommy, bottle empty. Hurry mom. Can I have my din-din? Hold me, swing me, please me. Little ol' Me. I can't smell you, hear my cries. Wine. Wine. Wine. Scream out cries. Is Mom nearby? My cries are for sleep. Then you can sweep. Clean house or break, in an hour, I'll holla for a snooze. It's my signal, mom put on your shoes. Carry baby where you please, just a long as you're next to Me.
