Mum got good at waking me

And I got good at trusting her to wake me

And the clowns must’ve known

Because they stopped visiting so much

And then they just

Stopped

Altogether

And when they stopped

It was time to go back

To my own room

By myself

I didn’t sleep at first

And I snuck back into Mum’s bed

A couple of times

But she would wake

And trot me back in

And tuck me in

And check under the bed

And in the wardrobe

And turn off the light

And it would all just

Start over

After a week

We were exhausted

Both of us

So we went to the library

And we found a book

On Morse code

And we copied out the whole entire alphabet

On pieces of paper

That we stuck on the wall beside our beds
