twins get to sleep in the living room on weekends
sitting at my desk, I can hear them talking
their bond is tighter than anything
and finally, in bits & pieces, love slips in
in spite of myself, hearing my girls talking
is as good as I can imagine it will get
& Ramona tells me
"Mom, just caaaaallllm down"
Sasha threatens me with dire things
now demanding musical instruments
how can one think of anything else
when Sashie is using my own voice
perfect imitation of a mommy driven
over
the
edge. . . .
now they just found the moon outside the window,
my girls taunt moon, calling him out, teasing
"hey look" they cry "it's morning"
so many giggles, I am covered in girlies
who rain down giggles upon me & moon
moon & me both hide our faces
in front of such joy

they are less than 4 and a half now, holy god, imagine what's to come
