All the guests are gone
Mama and daddy the last to leave
food served and eaten
gifts opened, packages
and wrapping in the trash
the clean-up is now complete
Hubby upstairs after opening
the envelopes and counting cash
A silence falls over the room
Mia and her baby are all alone
He smells of baby powder
She holds him to her breast
and feels the steady tug
but without warning …
he starts to fuss
cat like grunts, a wrinkled nose,
then balled up fists
and the steady kick, kick, kick
a whimper than a howl
does anyone know,
what's the matter with her son?
Mia starts to cry
she doesn’t want to be
all alone with her new baby.
