He lies in the cot
Screaming, crying, silent, sleeping
A ball of puddgy flesh and bone
Blood and energy
Undirected, uncontrolled, undeveloped and unable
Needing sustenance
Needing signals
Animal levels of basic food
To feed the soul
To feed the body
To feed the core
To sooth, warm, heal
Pick him up
He knows
He's the baby in a bubble
