GCH

unsure like

a tiny baby or

a purple crocus 

in the yard

scared to do more 

than hibernate

but enticed by

the warmth of spring, 

the rush of energy 

and capillary action

busy sucking a thumb

or rattling happy

too busy to notice

the center 

of gravity, and that

there is room

to spare
