Small body, he lies beside me in my bed
He snuggles his doggie into my neck
And I’m not sure
If he’s entrusting me with it
Or if he’s entrusting it with me
His soft belly rises and falls
He complains a little bit
Just for show
But we are both happy to be here
Resting
I press my cheek against his
Unbelieveably, unbearably soft
He doesn’t move away
Not yet
He says he’s not a baby
And he’s right
But his body remembers
What it was like to be part of mine
I can still fold him
Bendy arms and legs
Into a little ball
Our bodies nestle into each other now
We sleep
