in the tapestry
of spring, we are new weavers,
tempted to tuck and
pull on loose strands, hesitant
until we find our pattern

on your birthday –
on your birthday –
a cup of tea
to steep
our predictions,
contain our
luck while we
are lucky enough
to grasp it,
embroider yet
unrecognizable
stories, the tea
leaves in
our tapestry

theater-hopping in
theater-hopping in
the multiplex was a game
we used to play on
hot summer days,
one disposable

for years, my father
rose before sunrise so that
we could sleep soundly –
we flourished in certainty
when love was something simple

my dad is vacuuming
each intersection

is a hem, gathering jewels
to be discovered

will lift
lightly, stretch
and curl new
muscles created
only for this springing
away, a small
push
into the unknown

in each other’s arms,
in each other’s arms,
we tinker with every
minute, allow the
seconds to
burst, become
longer in their
incandescence.
despite all of our
efforts, hours
burn up, become
irretrievable
