I sleep thirteen hours

after my hibernation

rabbit tracks in snow

by Alison

Indian cuisine

sleeping late and Haloween -

we like the same things

by Kelly

he falls asleep but

I’m cold under one blanket —

the year moves forward

by Kelly

middle of the night

dog pants, whines, needs to go out

I hear. Hubby sleeps.

by Alison

now I remember…

playing “nap time” with my mom

and tucking her in

by Alison

in her own bed in

her freshly painted pink room

she falls right asleep

by Kelly

Afterward, he drifts

to sleep. I stroke his hair and

think of poetry.

by Kelly

I’m listening to

the spaces between his snores.

Haiku, are you there?

by Kelly

two nights in a row

I think and think but don’t sleep–

winter stretches on

by Alison

my head pounds from nights

of daughter not sleeping -

the snow keeps falling
