Alma, my late wife (died 1981) and mother of my two sons, took the stairs two at a time during her ninth month.
Wow. I’m not sure I was up to climbing stairs for about the last two months.
But then I’m very small and I had a very big baby…
Not sure I understand the exact meaning of the haiku but your website is definitely beautiful enough to make up for it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks much. I think the poem can mean whatever you want it to, or what makes sense to you… I don’t think my poetry usually has a single meaning, or at least I don’t usually want it to.
