To My Five Year-old Son for his Birthday

Curious, stupid
and always
queasy from love

Every day
Not all day

I remain petrified
after
One thousand
Eight hundred
Twenty five
Everydays

I am not immortal
You are not

There is no terror more pleasing
than the sound of your laugh
unblemished

Every day
All day
