The last supper

by Morfydd Ceridwen

I think of you,
laughing and impatient
waiting at our gate
teasing my slowness,
my belly full of baby
and my father's t-shirt,
a little too tight.

You were like a hummingbird—
constantly moving.
We talked of names,
you felt the baby kick
and started crying;
then we sat, just sat
watching flowers moving
in the slight breeze,
and thinking, just thinking;
chewing over grass and memories,
a feast of nostalgia,
our very own last supper.
