This is something I wrote while Robyn was pregnant, but never posted here.
I speak as though you can hear me
I speak upon the rolling hills
Among blades of grass
Seed upon seed
Soft as a whisper
I speak deep in the green forests
Over maddening monkeys
And ceaseless insects
Wet as rain
I speak under the endless seas
Drowned beneath turbulent waves
Source of life
Songs of whales
I speak of love
I speak of books
I speak of happiness
I speak of sorrow
And Maybe
I speak of God
Yet somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow somehow
(thirty-two because nothing has ever changed
Then doubled
Because I'm certain of certain things)
Yet somehow
I've said nothing
So I rest my head
Upon your mother's swelling breasts
And pray
One day
I'll speak
And one day
You'll hear me
