the first snow of the new year was tap-dancing
before my once-a-baby house guest was ready to rise
he and i spent the long night in and around his stroller
then at dawn he fell deeply asleep on my good shoulder
his head slided down in slow motion on my fast aged chest
in selfish longing i missed him throughout his sweet slumber
the drifting away of the riffs, cracks, aches from my body and soul
i then kept silent in peace awaited his awake moments
inhaled once again his immediate eager smile upon waking up
his darling laughter deep inside his mommy’s bluest blue eyes
his non-stop kissable huggable tummy arms fingers and feet
his here there and everywhere twisting curls on his golden head…
and
we locked our eyes in each other’s once again
another whole-face smile grew and grew on his baby-bird-mouth
this time wide open though away from me ready only to drink her mommy love
