he is exhausted of all momentum that propelled him through this day.
He snores, a sign of full surrender, he is at rest, as I.
This day has seen both stillness and fluster-
I will allow the thick darkness of the night air to tuck me in on all sides,
as I used to swaddle our children.
We have come to rest here
in this moment of temporary completion,
of succession,
of contentment - tonight.
