Death Interludes Lullabies
Hush little baby
sleep, now—
the stars have turned
their backs to light
oh little breath
don’t stray
too far
the dark is softer
than you fear
no monsters await
your dreamless nights
only
nothing
(you won’t see it)
a blink
then
the world forgets
you
this pause
this
stop—
are all that remains
between the seconds
time doesn’t pass
you do
so sleep, now—
and bring your breaths
to night
i’ll hold the silence
‘til your breath of life
