Happy Birthday, Kevin.
I cannot believe how few photos I have taken of you in the past 5 years.  So I have to use this one again.  Hope your day was fun.  Thanks for being around.


You are contained

You are concerned with something

other than the opaque quality of

the surface of the moon,

Whatever it is, it’s not

for you to discuss with me.

You are taken up with

new roles

new have to’s

and the ones that have been

reserved for me

are now pushed aside.

You have filled that space

with other hers, other wants

and I now watch the moon

describe the color

wonder where it will rise

with me.
