23. A Baby Asleep After Pain

AS a drenched, drowned bee Hangs numb and heavy from a bending flower,   So clings to me My baby, her brown hair brushed with wet tears   And laid against her cheek;         5 Her soft white legs hanging heavily over my arm Swinging heavily to my movements as I walk.   My sleeping baby hangs upon my life, Like a burden she hangs on me.   She has always seemed so light,         10 But now she is wet with tears and numb with pain Even her floating hair sinks heavily,   Reaching downwards; As the wings of a drenched, drowned bee   Are a heaviness, and a weariness.         15
