The stories are too big to lose, to ignore
too small for you to notice.
They sit, here and there, dotted
around the landscape,
fading from memory.

When you were born,
you blinked
I held my breath
and wondered at you.

Nancy is already asleep
An abandoned sprawl
I drowse into contentment
Leaning against you,
I feel your voice buzz
Up my spine
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Frogs should know better.
I scoop you up, and
carry you inside.
My mouth is pressed open
against my side of the pane,
I stand, waiting.

I begged my mother
for a year
to let me shave.
"Everyone else is doing it."
"You promised!"
'I'll be careful."
All lies.
Lacrimosa dies illa,
Qua resurget ex favilla

Hopscotch,
cops and robbers,
ring around the rosies.
Dodge ball,
hide and seek,
among the dusty bluebells.
Games I forgot,
and people too;
now I'm old
and so are you.
Libera me, Domine, de
morte aeterna, in die illa
tremenda.

My head is a clock
My pulse, loud... tock.

Stretching skin, wrinkles race.
