I wake to
your call
in the night
we lie parallel
I I
two, at 2am
asleep
your nose
tucks beneath my shoulder
I’m your lodestone
head buried, body pivots
north
to 3 o’clock
how can one so small
be half my life
how can one so small
rob half my night
how can one so small
take up so much room
in the bed

Having my baby son tucked into bed beside me was my absolute favourite part of parenting… now he’s 17 and so tall and hairy! Relish it : ) G
