she wanted to learn a lullaby

{..}

she wanted to learn a love song
till love turned into a noun
while looking for a verb.

what’ll he do
alone
on a full moon Saturday night?

a tisket a tasket
no and no
peace does not reside in a basked.

are you still here?
da
ta ta ta
da

speaking softly?
breathing slowly?
listening clearly?
