I used to dream that I was falling
head first into bottomless darkness.
My stomach would reel
from the gravity sucking me down,
the bottom of my world always falling out.
Now I dream of a world without guard rails,
without fences, without gates –
and you, son, forever running
right up to the edges,
and you are always
about to fall.
