Rough night

You cry.
Skin to skin,
under the stars
and crescent moon above,
We walk.

Your breath is choppy
Your head is heavy
on mommy's shoulder.
We walk.

Just love, just skin, just breath, just us
And the clear, speckled sky.

You whimper
I sway
Stars sparkle
We walk

Slower, deep breaths
Mommy smiles
Bodies relax
Our moon shadow walks with us.
You sleep
We walk
