Today is my husband’s birthday. 
the way he celebrates
(happy birthday timothy)
He became
Alive
On a hot day
In July.
Cancer. Water.
Summer. Baby.
One room cottage.
New York. Lake.
For your birthday,
Has anyone told you
When you weigh me
In sight, life erupts.
Ageless wonder.
Like, love… like
Forever.
We stitch broken
Pledges. Touching
To celebrate.
Your
Arrival. Bless
Another year.
Bless another.
