Six, Asleep
the blanket of starlight
and moonmother watches
your breath rise and fall
when your eyes flutter closed
sung to dream by the music
your headphones make tiny and flat
when your arms reach out
grasping
for bunnies and sheep
when i lift off your glasses
pull your hat down tight
on your head
smooth back your hair
hold your hand
bless the dirt on the skin
of your fingers
knowing it means
you were happy
today
close your book
lay aside
the crayons and paper
tuck in the blankets
switch off the lights
lay my hand on your cheek
six times over
convincing myself
that you're real
when the day ends and i am
secure in these walls
doors locked and dogs keeping guard
on both sides
you are always
and i will
be here.
