Night Night

I just had a conversation with you.

"Night Night time, just like your sister."
"No more milkies, Mama can't go night night."
" sister night night there,"
" froggy night night here, you night night here."
"Not mama, no milkie, night night. "

and you layed down

and sang
"nigh nigh nigh nigh"

"mama?"

"nigh nigh nigh nigh"
and played with your blanket
and went to sleep.

While I sat, unable to move
staring at a little boy
who last night was
my baby with a chin dripping milk.
