Infants


I have a journal full
of infants, silly poems
too weak to stand
on their own verse.

I should remove them,
but their missing teeth
remind me how bold grows
in the jawbone of stumbles.

that closing is stunning - it really is beautifully phrased! unique and so captivating of a "writing" truth - love it.
