Punctum Saliens

On the day you were born
the Earth turned, the Moon pulled,
the Sun flared, and, then, with a push,
you slipped out of the dark quiet
where suddenly you could hear . . .
. . . a circle of people singing
with voices familiar and clear.

and

And as they held you close
they whispered into your open, curving ear,
“We are so glad you’ve come!”

On the Day Your Were Born, Debra Frasier
