Sung As Bugs In Rugs

and no matter how tired, at night, they seem to come alive.

and eventually sleep will come in this house.

and eventually they won't want one more story

one more drink of water

help saying prayer

or a stashed lala under her pillow

and a midnight visit from him

or a midnight feeding from the other him

One day I will ache for these moments

even if my back is aching from them now.
