His Heart

Dark on both ends
The call trudges on
I’m reading to him
But he falls asleep
 
Reading the first chapter
My eyes focus on the page
I pause to take a breath and a drink
Then I look over
 
He’s fast asleep
His lips curled into a slight smile
I hear a rhythmic thump
His heart
 
I smile as well
And decide to finish the chapter
It’s 11:11 by the time I’m done
I whisper, "You’re my 11:11."
 
He smiles more as if he heard me
Then I close the book
Laying on my left side
The blankets draping over me
 
I close my eyes
Listen to the thumping
I let it lull me to sleep
My dreams peaceful and full of curly blonde hair
