get well soon

my child,
a terrible part of this
is having to turn my head away,
leave your room,
wash you off my hands

my son,
the best part of this
is the bravery in your quiet words
...you feed me love
even as you hunger

knowing i'll be
turning my head away,
leaving your room,
washing you off my hands
...this is the worst part, your knowing

i come back to kiss your hair
