Responsibility
I Half awaken
to the comforting blur of my mother
pulling on her house-
dress in the half dark

5 and already the sound of my father
as from muted dream distance
clucking the chicken corn.

I too some distant morning
shall rise responsibly
to set my house in motion

Meantime, I pull the covers close
and smile for the pure secret
thrill of it, and ease myself down
into that last, sweet, morning sleep,
Edward Baugh
