he’s breathing so softly
so deeply
so gently
or is that me?
the space between us has dissolved
and i cant tell
if he’s taking my air
or if i’m taking his
we rest next to each other
and sigh into the night,
each comforting the other
knowingly and unknowingly
it is like that with your children
even the ones
who do not breath at all
