Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

Christopher

By Lucy Davenport

And there he was
and then he wasn’t

Five months came to me
Five months left me

A breath of time
was all he had
so many smiles forces so many tears
the end is there, his end
I live in his end
that’s all I have.

How quickly, how silently
was his passage.
How it broke my world.
The most powerful force from the tiniest one.

Stay with me
then
now
and forever’s tomorrow.
