Spine taller
voice lower
but scratchy
feet longer
jeans skinnier
four and
ten years
my son.
Eyelids crinkle
brows narrow
lips turn
up one
side only
until no
containment possible
laughter leaps
treetop high.
Valentines day
is his
no stupid
cards, no
forced love
just heart
every year
the same
love only
much bigger.
