Kilig

 

She giggles.

She is happy.

“Dad?”

she says.

“Dad,” she says

again, this

time adding

a tug,  “’Cause

I feel so

good now,

If I open my

mouth,

 

will butterflies

fly out?”

She giggles

bigger now.

“They might,”

I say, “They

might fly

right through

your laughter.”

 

She tries to

close her mouth.

She can’t.

More laughing

fountains

forth.  She

sounds like

gulps of

Spring.

 

And, like the

season, her

arrival has

brought new

life into

the world.

 

She is so

excited over

what might

happen

next.
