it is world 
when you hold him close 
and he is sleeping 
sometimes 
in short shallow sweet puffs 
sometimes 
in long contented chest-raising sighs 
sometimes 
it is through congested struggling passages 
but always there 
the surest sign of life 
of being 
of presence in
this world 
so tired of the harsh cynical breathing of winter people 
and his sure lungs 
breathe the flute of spring 
leading us into
garden of good
