when i look at him

i see the burning color

that our childrens eyes could have

running my fingers through his hair,

i kiss his forehead softly

and tell our future to sleep well

when i hear his soft singing,

in the distance, if i listen,

our legacy is humming along

my bare finger is heavy

from the phantom weight

of a circular, diamond cut vow
