Awake

Awake

At night
pretending to sleep

the sound of running water
in the bathroom sink

a crack of light
comes through the door--
her shadow flitting across it …. This is a great line. 

wet sounds
struggled slippery sounds
like stretching rubber
and the constant downpour of water
cutting into the sink … loved this and the previous line 

and then the knob turned with a squeak
and then the light flicked off
and then the door closed with a creak …. Nice onomatopoeia 

and then the little boy would sleep … I’m not sure I get the overall story, but a nice read 

Good to have you back
