stART

Ready To Start.

Today I leave, my smallest in arms.
The eldest at
neighBORS (tension.)
- to speak, say
gnashing teeth
CLapping jaws
to a doctOR-
the plaYER the
piLOT.
are my playthings
a tool
a toy
what is it called?
small steps
leaps across
the sky
Amidst fear
uncertain future
where
wiLL it
go.

Milk.

brought over from Tumblr - Sept 14. Forgot to put here.

milk.
Soft the scent of
milk, warm.
the room is 
Dark.
Your mind moves
un-able to quiet
to be still as
the small form 
nested in your
arms.
little whimpers, grasping
tiny fingers.
Curled limbs, soft breaths
soft snorts
soft scents.
milk, the sweet scent fills that space
where she lays
in your arms
in the dark quiet
noises small, constant
constant comforts in the nearness
skin to skin
murmuring, wordless reassurances
as she stirs
face turning towards the source
for the current pleasure, of soothing:
the safety of the breast, the milk
that flows
the scent it brings
that pervades everything
for now.
Small sighs
Contended grunts
fading in to soft noises
as once again
Sleep brings again
quiet noises in darkness
in warmth.

ah, the ache

today the ache.
