Waking

Elizabeth, 5 months, Palm Coast, Florida
You will not remember my wooden arms, these hands that crowned your head. You will twist and stretch a while, arch your back like a question mark and cough and poke at the air with your flannel feet. You will not remember any of this: the blue-gray window, the silhouettes of trees, the promises we made but knew we could not keep.
