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
