kittle lid

big belly bulging
kittle lid kicks, pokes, punches
we three wait anxious

I wrote this for Carolyn for our wedding anniversary. Obviously, Dylan was the inspiration. Since we didn’t know if Dylan was a boy or a girl, we called him “kittle lid.” I’m not sure if that name came from the Capitol Steps’ Lirty Dies or my high school Spanish teacher.
