My Soul To Keep

I hope there's wind
in heaven, and dogs

bark at shadows.
I'm cozy in my bed

beside a sleeping wife.
She dreams of babies

born exponentially.
Holding an empty

hand, I lie awake
listening for life.

Thanks, James, for me this poem has a lot deeper things going on than at first glance, but if nobody else sees that then I guess it has nothing much going on.
