Woman now on assumption
Your little one wakes
With flapping eyelashes
trained to find you
in the dark morning
Your kitchen steams
of last night's pots
the ginger wants crushing
the news babbles
trained to rouse you
in the dark morning
The husband emits
One final snore
morning breath full of gore
The bath runs gushing
trained to maul you
in the dark morning
Sticky lips
Puckered chin
yellow teeth cruise within
eyes wide shut
headless wonder
The face laughs back
trained to taunt
in the dark morning
