A poem a day for 2013 - day 227 - Lullaby

Sing
Ok?
Sit with me and let vowels elongated and raspy
Fall bass out your crooked full lips
Sing a song you know
Let your body wave back and forth
Like it used to
Remember how time didn't matter
When our fingers touched so easy
Remember you would make up songs
To make me laugh
Even now
I think about how we sillied ourselves to sleep with your songs
So easy and nothing and air
So ooohhh ooohhh ooohhh
Ahhh ahhh ahhh
So melodious in my memory
