THE MOMENT OF KNOWING
� Jude ( [email protected] (Judie Peet)) )
Inside of me and just below my heart,
another heart now beats its tiny drum,
and having heard it, even though it�s part
of me, I realise - am overcome
by knowing in a strange clairvoyant way -
that she whose heart it is will hear a song
that I have never heard. Her drum will play
a tune that sounds absurd to me, and wrong.
I stand, quite lost to all the world outside,
and stare unseeing at the doctor�s door
where with his stethoscope we heard inside
my womb. I touch that mound where she�s secure
for now, and vow to hold this moment dear
and think on it through each contentious year!
