Christmas in (almost) July

Restraint.

A piercing stare into the baby monitor
Willing them to settle and sleep. 
He vowed not to go up and into their room a third time to remind them of their bedtime responsibility. 
In return
The no longer babies
Sing each other choruses of
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer 
In full voice.
It is May. 

Hands grip the kitchen counter. 
Arms extend.
Head down. 
Restraint.
