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.
