please be quiet
the new mother says,
harried
and tired, a finger
to her lips,
the baby
is asleep, walk gently
across the floor,
up the stairs, go
lightly
don't let the floor boards
creak.
whisper when you
speak.
the baby is asleep,
let's keep it that way
for while.
just a few more minutes
please, of peace.
