my niece is wide awake
like her auntie na na
a night owl
a dream howl
my bro and sis in law don't sleep much these days either
all i can do is document
my hands are too smokey
my heart too heavy to hold all their tears
now my nephew is crying
the house is up
and tired
sleeping in shifts
someday that will be me
someday in this decade
babies
they're pretty awesome
in a frustrating way
frustrating cause they don't sleep sometimes
they don't behave
they possess an innocence we only understand when...
well now
what we wouldn't give to be pure again
taken care of, hand and foot
i guess we go through that again towards the end
my grandfather...
i get to see him in a couple days
he kinda requires the care of a baby these days
maybe it's all a cycle
maybe this isn't a poem
just roaming thoughts
counting sheep, blessings, and lessons
it's too early for all these words
it's too late to be hovered over this keyboard
so i guess i'll give it a rest now
just wanted to say
i'm really looking forward to this decade
this life
old, new, and everything in between
i'm just really happy to have the honor to participate
that's all
just to be here
