its that day

a sentence so long as to run
about the circumference of the globe
and other unimaginable distances
and back
a dedication to extremes without which
there can be a standard to judge
for it is this thing
without words
a string, a rope a line connecting
two hearts souls bodies forever
through the donation
of dna
to reproduce the very essences
building blocks in the nursery
from which this relationship
is crafted
a small boy idolizing the grown male
whose chin, eyes and hair are replicated
sitting close on a morning sofa set
holding hands
