lullaby

a local crow traces the spell of night through
the softening color of the day. winter welcomes
the low incense of breath spilling between curtains
holding their edges against the draft of light. unsteady,
the years fold themselves away and a home is had
in the memory of a clumsy lullaby. the hands of a child
relaxing into sleep and prayers that I used to know
find my lips again
