Family

We took a walk today and unleashed our two
Boys from the double stroller — it’s nuts
How quickly there’s a phase change, and you
Say to yourself, “Dang, their little butts
Sure do move fast.” Noah kept running
Ahead, then running back shouting, “Look!
It’s my family!” It was one of those stunning
Sweet moments you want to fold in a book.
The 4pm sun swept sideways on slim tree
Trunks, and the sky was that clear heartache blue,
And our two little nuggets had Melissa and me
Running and bending more than we wanted to.
It was perfect, this dusk circle of we,
A plain miracle I never thought I’d see.
