Here come we
as perfect a baby
Button nosed
and dimpled cheek
shrieking nights
and babbling morns
A handsome son
A beautiful daughter
Somewhere
Somehow
We become misfits
design by Evolution
or Grace
to take too much risk
with each other
Nose ringed
and potted face
acned ambivalence
and strident justice
We come together
in holy matrimony
to find outsized
reward randomly binds
only a few in rarified
forever
The languid eternity
of a few
short
nasty brutish and sharp
years
We leave her
We leave him
Here stay we

Here come we
as perfect a baby
Button nosed
and dimpled cheek
shrieking nights
and babbling morns
A handsome son
A beautiful daughter
Somewhere
Somehow
We become misfits
design by Evolution
or Grace
to take too much risk
with each other
Nose ringed
and potted face
acned ambivalence
and strident justice
We come together
in holy matrimony
to find outsized
reward randomly binds
only a few in rarified
forever
The languid eternity
of a few
short
nasty brutish and sharp
years
We leave her
We leave him
Here stay we
