2:37 a.m.<\/h1>\n

by Laura Grace Weldon<\/p>\n

Weary of wakeful child
\nI rock against his reluctance.
\nSoft songs don’t lull.
\nWarm milk doesn’t lure.
\nIt’s possible to adore
\nyet wish him unconscious.<\/p>\n

A soft hand pats my face,
\npulls my lip. He stands on my lap
\nreaching for window-framed moonlight.
\nThe sight of his round-cheeked beauty
\npours sudden warmth through my bones.<\/p>\n

Back and forth we rock,
\nbreathing in unison.
\nWhen he settles close,
\nhead against my neck
\nI keep rocking
\ngratefully awakened.<\/p>\n
