She had the child at home
with only the midwife in attendance
and was relieved
that it cried this time.
Although the noise
faded with the years,
until neither she
nor the boy
were conscious of the silence
that had developed.
And it was only
when she began
to lose her hearing,
that she thought about
the little voice again.
