The Formation of Dreams (a fatherhood poem)

What’s inside their heads at night

what kind of streaming analogs of daybreak take flight behind those gently resting lids?

Boy. 11’s been telling me about this flash flash of sun that will be the end of the world

on May 15 so better get some hits early in the Little League season seems reasonable.
