Not enough time between
us to recall when you
were born,
to recall the screaming,
the helplessness.
I wish I remembered
when you were
smaller than I,
big blue eyes in a
scrunched red face,
wish I remembered
what it was for you to be
vulnerable, but instead
I stand beside you,
looking up, thinking
not enough time between us
to see you now as anything
but equal.
