awake

In the dim, dark house

the furnace rumbles and blows

breathy hellos into the corner of each room.

In this airy darkness

I try to lie still

while my toddler—

having made his nocturnal migration

into my bed—

sleeps beside me.

The baby in my belly wiggles

and flutters,

hoping for a snack.

Such a boy…

not yet born

and already wanting breakfast before dawn.

  Thanks, Nico! You are such a lovely presence on my blog! Thanks for being so supportive…makes me smile as I sleepily sip my morning coffee and try to muster the courage to get dressed!

Lovely image!

We need more pictures of you in full bloom. Can you get Mary to be your photographer now and then?
