I hear you wake before I’m up myself
and snap to ready now before my eyes
crack from their crud to face your face today. I hear you blunder toward my door. I hear
you crash it wide. The loosened hinges shiver
their frame, and now the house itself, awake
to the world and you, complicit, pulls me hard
as thunder from my sleep. You beat the echoes
to me, blear-faced, awash with night sweat;
you drag a bunny by the ears to bed
and tumble graceless up the mattress, silent,
a drowsy rocket wanting, wanting something
I’m not awake enough to understand
but will be, soon, my son, and then we’ll go
to blaze the day, to stomp each puddle left
by the rain you never notice as you pull
me into the world, all leap and bowl, all grab
and fall. Today I’ll wake up better, call the distance order, order it to be
a smaller thing. I’ll stand to make it so. |
