Description
his first breath before he utters a soft cry,gently rolling tears from his pale eyes
and his father painted his room.
the sky when he's soaring through it,
his laughter when his mother chases him,
his brand new shoes.
his heart when it's broken when he's fifteen.
her fingernails that brush him away,
her least favorite necklace.
the silk of his tie on the first day of his job,
waiting for a phone call,
and then it's the hue of the uniform.
the shade of his lips and skin
after he stopped breathing.
the flicker of the television,
but not the shadow of his suspension ropes.
still his heart
when it's far too late.
