Just now

I stood in the kitchen with Alice

and she reached up

and curled her hot little finger into

my palm

and leaned her entire body against

my leg

and looked up at me with big, sleepy eyes.

While Alice naps

I could be:

working

cleaning

eating,

getting things done.

But instead,

I am claiming this

sleeping baby

quiet house

snow-covered

moment

For myself.
