At Day's End

by Debra White

At day's end
soap scented children
slow-time 
for those
few
extra
moments

I pretend to mind
but secretly cherish
each cuddle
each kiss
before
descending the stairs --

Peace awaits my arrival
and as starved lovers do
we embrace
greedily.
 

At day's end
in the hours between 
crazy and sleep
I am just me.
