Of course there’s no connection to record:
coincidence perhaps, but not Kismet.
These small events are surely best ignored.
You’ll doubtless disregard my words, but let
me say my daughter first felt life last night,
and then she dreamed a girl – she wrote me so –
all on an anniversary. Invite
the psychics to interpret what these show.

It’s bonding more tenacious than mere flesh;
a linkage unumbilical precedes
nativity. This baby will refresh
a matrilineal crochet that needs
another generation on this earth,
and recognizes daughters before birth.
