Baby Steps, Baby

Baby steps, one at a time, she tries to take

Wobbling, shaking, and trying not to stumble

A hand stretched in the front, searching for support

.

I extend my arm, wriggling the fingers in encouragement

She grins, a toothless smile fixed on her cute face

.

Her knife gleams in the dark before slicing through my wrist
