    Poem by my son published in "Fatherhood" anthology !

    Went to see my son, his wife and their newborn baby yesterday. Got a late birthday pressie, a book of poetry with two of Jim's in it. Yep, a proper published author.

    Here is my favourite about conception :

    A poem by James Harris

    Sparks in the Dark

    Sparks in the dark: yours, mine
    in this vessel swaddled
    lovers collide
    “once you've got your eye in
    there's someone home”
    tearfrosted window: a bloom, diffuse, barely aglow
    but-
    (quickbreathin eyeswide bitelip fistclenched)
    -but there
    a swimming nexus, singing forth, forming, growing
    out from a singularity
    the spark has taken; the dark has broken
    definite defiant but vague: glorious paradox

    not even our pounding hearts combined keep pace
    with this fuzzy little fizzing racing pulse
    and our minds combined won't yet fully comprehend

    the something from the nothing at the start of it all
