Putting all my words here for safekeeping. My name is Tara. Non-binary, anarchist, life-giver, learning how to be a person.

Naptime

Naptime is a mountain
of climbing stairs
checking in
finding friends
reading stories, again
getting into bed, and arranging things just so
an interrupted song
a sweet cuddle

And at the top, you forgot was there, one last drink of water

Until finally, rolling softly down the other side, a sweet whisper in your ear
