What Do You know

About babies falling down.
What do you know about reading.
And the hardest thing about
an early morning might be
not sleeping because of dreaming.
Or not hugging.

Last season I dropped a ball
that now I know wasn't a ball
at all.
And muddled away dinners and
days and forgot how to say that.
It wasn't my fall to save.

The clearest thing
about hot springs
is a smile.
In my eyes it's a smile
because I'm not thinking
about what might happen next.
