There is no one
to save you in the small hours,
with your husband
breathing whiskey breath on one side,
and your infant daughter on the other,
grunting like a fat kid on the knotted gym class rope
in between I am silently
conjuring all the spells and prayers and incantations that I know of,
summoning the magic that binds us together,
wondering if love is enough.
