The bars of the crib pose her life’s challenge and as she leans - TopicsExpress



          

The bars of the crib pose her life’s challenge and as she leans towards them he finds himself hating them and so the only way to make the moment tenable is to hold her in his arms, against his chest, her head in the nook of his neck, the both of them, child and father, waiting, the child more patient than the father, the child ready to wait for the growth to come and the life to be, the father sad because the peaceful joy of this moment means that there is no room for him in the future in any form other than this one. He sobs, sometimes, while holding the baby. The house is large and safe around them. It is also inescapable. He doesn’t want to go anywhere. jalada.org/2014/01/27/please-dont-kill-the-baby-by-orem-ochiel/
