please

light leaks over craggy red peaks and seeps through the single glazed a slinky silhouette spins a pirouette mews stretches and rubs against the the window pane gooey foggy anesthesia clings like dew to a day that's too new to unbundle from down under this comforter little bug sneaks in for a hug her blanky dragging her diaper sagging crawls onto my chest and there she rests soft cheek on my shoulder gently I hold her so still I feel her little lungs breathing her little heart beating against mine snuggled up in the dawn never live too long to not measure life's treasure in moments like these not to say thank you and more many more please
