Some Possible
English Translations
by T Newfields
A direct translation:
drinking enough breastmilk
staring at me from her hands
smiling for the first time,
my little girl
A free-style version:
My little daughter
who has had enough milk
gazes at me
with hands outstretched
smiling freshly.
Another possibility:
after drinking
plenty of milk
from my breasts
and gazing at me
through her hands
my baby daughter
gives me a fresh smile.
