Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
My son is brave, kind
and good.
He slid into the light,
caught by uncertainty.
Out of the Dim and
Quiet he marched the
one thousand days.
Mute mother and crying.
Exhaustion.
Life was always in the
next room.
My son reached for the
barre of imagination.,
Cries of indignation.
The room reverbated.
Music of my youth in
his mouth. He ******
the flowers. The walls
folded around him in
a swaddlle embrace.
Lordy lord the past of
my anthology cries.
Birthday is to Kevin
as life is joy to me.
