My son talks about his wingspan
as if at any moment
he might take to the sky.
It wouldn’t surprise me
and it wouldn’t surprise you.
This boy
who we have watched get older
and
by some miracle
become something different
than we ever imagined possible.
If he were to take flight
it would be the kind of remarkable it was
when we realized
he stood well above us
taller than both of our dreams
with all that he is.
