just her kid

sitting on the couch
after dinner
t.v. chattering its nonsense
I’m tired
long days workaday many pressures
most self-inflicted
but my mom is here
and I stifle a yawn
and my dad says
go to bed meja
and I lean over and put my
head on my moms lap
and
she is playing with my hair
and
I am all of a sudden
eight
and this is my Mom
and I don’t have to be
in charge or super woman
I’m
just
her
kid
and no one will ever love me like this
no one will ever
touch my hair and my heart like this
I could stay forever right here
in this moment
with the stupid t.v. humming
and the kids running around
and the dogs barking
and my head in my moms lap
