longer to linger

it is like i am not here,
but she knows that i am
like i know what her sounds mean
when i dream
and i can wake up and answer her
- the iv does the stroking
i might do to your cheek
the smoothing
i might do to your blanket -
but I'm here
and she knows it.
she tells me i can start singing any time.
she starts her new verse: i am resolved
no longer to linger.
