with wine on white sheets
walk into the room
why is mommy asleep
on the floor
the yelling woke the
whole house but
He is nowhere to be found
the faucet is running
in the bath
but no one is in it
the water level approaches
overflow
but no one is in it
and He is nowhere to be found
don't be scared
don't be scared
chew on a thumb
go sleep with mommy
she knows what to do
in the morning she'll
make breakfast
and laugh
this bad joke
don't be scared
water spills over
on tile floors
don't be scared
don't be scared
with wine on white sheets
walked into the room
why won't mommy
wake up
