In those days,

we finally chose

to walk like giants

& hold the world

in arms grown strong with love

& there may be many things we forget

in the days to come,

but this will not be one of them

Sonia and Ava

We lay there & look up at

the night sky & she told me

about stars called blue squares

& red swirls & i told her i'd

never heard of them

Of Course not, she said,

the really important stuff they

never tell you. You have to

imagine it on your own

If I was a spider princess, she said, I would spin webs the color of sky & catch drops of sunlight to give to children who watch too much TV & then everyone would remember to come outside to play. 

If I was a spider princess, she said, things would be different.

I carry you with me into the world, 

into the smell of rain 

& the words that dance between people 

& for me, it will always be this way, 

walking in the light, 

remembering being alive together

Brotherly Love

They came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world

& after awhile they forgot everything but the good & true things they would do some day
