tonight as i lay belly-to-belly next to our boy,
my face close to his,
he slowly drifted off
to sleep.

his nose whistled a bit
as he took each sweet breath.
his hand slowly tracking the length of my face.
forehead to chin.
repeat.

and softly, in my ear,
i could hear the noise of his mouth,
nursing his pacifier
in his sleep.

he, lost in his dreamland of endless breasts.
me, lost in the bliss of being his ma.
