Maybe life as simple as breathing
I can't remember a week like this before. A week about love, and grace. A baby named AHAVA, the Hebrew word for love. Obama giving a eulogy that we will all remember, about amazing grace. The Supreme Court actually making an incredible decision in favor of love.
AHAVA
I was at a meeting
about God Knows What
Peter working on
a trailer for his movie
Noah called to say
Chesray’s labor
had begun
she would come
to our apartment
with her doula
we were waiting waiting for life
to begin real person
arms, legs
and a heart
fluorescent lights
all exhausted
nervous then in awe
Could This Be What Life Is
could it be this simple
Ahava born at 6:45 am
she who brings love to the world
eight pound baby
and we stood there
knowing
what happened
as common as air
as common as breath
as common
as life
