His mother use to touch his head
until his eyes would slowly ease into
the white sheets of his twin size bed

She had a small necklace
diamond stud
that seemed to hang in the air for so long
it crossed the bridge of time
onto the small, rose cheeks
of her sons face

It was the nights unwritten silence
that brought them together
windows faced outward
trees shadowed the outer hills for shelter

Their time
a small beige room
his fingers calmly in tune
on every word she spoke
each breathe slower than the next
until he fell asleep
With her hands cradling his chest.
