Born

Small

Safe

Soft

Swimming

Brimming with anticipation of something unnamed

Squeeze

Spin

Shrinking

Sinking

Thinking first thoughts of wanting things to stay the same

Born

Bright

Bare

Bawling

Calling voices in ears too new to know their names

Blink

Breathe

Bask

Being

Feeling the edges of life, the joy and the pain
