for the next while
applesauce in the babies mouth
drowns out the silence
drowns out myself
baby powder ends up on my nose
it puffs in the air
and descends into my clothes
and even though it's chalky
I still like the smell of it
I sleep all day
so I'm awake all night
how I come running
at the smallest of noises
I guess it's just us
for the next little while
this rocking chair is safe
but it's not old fashioned
and it's a race to get the one that is
when it should just stay in place
let me put clean sheets down
before you start to crawl
steamed carrots again
maybe I'll invite a friend
so it's not just us two
for dinner
so it's a little less quite
a little less quite tonight
