Chidago Canyon Petroglyph, Detail
High Point
When we saw that he had grown
five inches over the course of one
summer, we joked that his mother
had put miracle grow on his pop tarts
making my daughter take a new look
at his overtures to sing her into his time
through increase and wonder
I couldn’t help stepping back a pace
marveling at how fast a body is able
to take cues to change so boldly
in some unspoken realm where
we keep trying to give up on
or catch up with our desires

The idea of our wanting or dreading having physical evidence is engaging.
