The first night after birth, when the small body sleeps and I can finally exhale, and Nunorei is there in the dark beside me, and we don't speak because there's nothing that needs saying yet. The weight of him in my arms is gone but the weight of knowing he exists is still here, changed me, will not leave. Light from the window, stillness, the two of us breathing at different paces.

The first night after birth, when the small body sleeps and I can finally exhale, and Nunorei is there in the dark beside me, and we don't speak because there's nothing that needs saying yet.
