ExpectingFirst published in Frogpond 27:1, [March] 2004, page 45. Four of these poems also appear in “Moving

first trimester—
sand from the sea shore
falls from your sweater
curved pine
next to the straight pine—
a gentle rain
second trimester
we name our cars
turning off war news
we replay
the ultrasound video
third trimester—
a forecast of sunshine
for the morning
