the summer before kindergarten:
melted away are the last pockets of baby fat,
her bones: longer, stronger, and strikingly beautiful underneath her tan summer skin.
a space where her tooth once laid sits vacant.
my home is about to get a little quieter;
in the stillness they'll be a lightness, a freedom, and also a weight,
a change that sits in every moment.
a change that sits in every moment.
