酷我-北美枫

[星子]

So often my son worries about fire.
At night, before bed,
he makes sure his stuffed friends
are cuddled in his blanket.
With eyes searching for a safe exit,
he keeps his door open.

I also fret--
love sets fire to me.
The whole night
I let my shadow linger.
When dawn breaks, I flee –
close my door.
