1. sleep

    I slept four hours

    hard

    thanks to Sandman

    and the cat

    they both cuddled me

    fast asleep

    sometime before ten

    now it’s the wee hours

    of the night

    full dark outside

    I can hear the clock tick

    and the chimes chime

    my child’s cough

    from up the stairs

    I’ll tuck back in

    before the sun rises

    or midday

    for a nap

    home feels good

    after four nights

    in the hospital

    we’re together 

    again

    sleepin’ under

    the same roof

    as it should be
