the catting hour

  4 am is the catting hour.
she stretches and watches
two little bodies pad away,
happy to have roused her.
fluttering eyelids register the clock,
her mind grasps at wisps of dreams
and a peaceful warmth spreads
from the tips of her toes
to the top of her head
and she rolls out of bed.
but, first, she smiles.
