Fisty fiesty fighty

fisty feisty fighty

Let me tell you my little boy
About a night we spent together many years ago.

I was hiding from our torment of sleepless baby nights
And your Mother brought you to me in the spare room.

I held you soft in my arms.

Cradled on my beating heart.

And I couldn’t move for fear of your reprisals.

For three hours in a trance.

Your every stirring answered with a whisper.

Remembering a night in 2003
