lifesize

before
pregnancy test
egg sperm balloon
cell division body motion
dilation bevel headed first light
empty belly to bloat lung screaming
devouring breast rice grilled cheese bag lunch
schoolhouse ranks and rankings bloody noses and kisses
eighteen pretending these words and days adult body growing
monkey hanging from buildings over yellow night roads mocking death
conceiving children from tooth red skin tattoos at bruise green thirty
body gravity back shrinking lower legs and arms bent forward
chasing the children raw brain tired past sun logic
into a mirror these children growing taller older
my wife and I an empty house
slow down sex and smaller older 
alone again and littler grayer 
worry evaporating night dew
we hold hands
going blind
until




even before birth
we begin to grow
cells inflate a moving body
empty belly to inflated lungs crying
so many meals leads to playground speak
opinions tested as longer lung inflated air heats
18 pretending so many words are adult body growing
monkey hanging from buildings over yellow night roads taunting death
conceived children from tooth sweat red markings at bruise green 30
from here the body starts to shrink back into itself
chase the children raw brain tired past sun logic
into a mirror these children growing taller older
my wife and I an empty house
alone again a little grayer smaller
sex still good but older
worry evaporating night dew
we hold hands
going blind
until
