insomnia
3:45am. Up again.
Been up every hour to half hour
as the little skinny girl wakes.
this used to be her baby pattern
and then I'd fall back to sleep in a moment each time.
But this old pattern kicks me in the rear now!

Up again. Rocking her in the glider chair.
box fan blowing cool air on us, humming motor droning
her back to sleep.
Half-moonlight streaming through blinds
ghostly glow is beautiful.

Back in bed. Girl sleeping on my chest
I don't dare put her down, for fear of being up again.
A mockingbird starts to sing
I fill with the excitement of spring, then can't sleep.

The bed feels so good, but I can't snuggle in.
She rolls of my chest, I tuck her in.
Her toes and fingers touch my skin, to be sure I am still there
She is beautiful.
My eyes begin to close, and the cry for Mommy calls again....
