    Stealing breath







    awake in the dark
    I listen
    her labored breathing
    grips me

    I am afraid to sleep
    fearing silence
    while I'm dreaming

    I roll over and stare at her
    she sleeps
    full moon light
    sparkling on her nose

    I want to cradle her
    until she wakes

    instead

    I roll back and stare at the ceiling
    wait for the
    seal cough
    breathing machine nearby

    deep breath
    I count ceiling shadows
