She lurks, eye deep, in
half woken sleep
Swerving slyly around
needless calls for attention
Her tired roaring,
slurring, turns the morning silent
It's too early for a child
moaning, moody and defiant
She pushed her noise maker
forward, with golden clawed protection
Through the rest of the
yawning, morning, dreary eyed pride.
