Afternoon Nap
By Marjorie Maddox

My daughter dreams breasts, lip-synching lunch.
I am the large one beside her,
a sleepy parenthesis curl for her appetite.
Like a sleepwalker descending stair
after stair with rhythmic certainty,
she munches the air convinced of flesh and fluid.
I dream of rest, also fooled.
