Long blinks are a good sign sleep is near
She cooks meals that take teeth to eat
Long blinks mean that sleep and dreams are both near
She constructs her dreams from daily things: baths
He sleeps on both sides, rolling this way, that
A lonely mother needs her son near her
She may hear him need her, sleeping deeply
A mother may be lonely for her son
At night she might fret, want to wake him up
Nearness, distance:
a crib is not a home
So she'll watch his breathing, be its witness
