Cuba Street after rain. A toddler stares around amazed, like the morning Love took ten years off your smile—sun on my heart’s wet pavement.

Remember the silent heart
that you will cut
and hold in your hands today
That heart beats with mine, fathered my children,
makes my morning coffee,
listens to my stories . . . is mine.

oh, fragile juggernaut
i can’t help but out-
flank u w/intolerable
same + sheer wind scale
w/hopeful mistakes
w/cipher drifts
