Moment

I can hear you saying it
out here through the foggy nethers.

Where did he learn that from?

A simple line of words
well beyond his seven years.

Grandpa Bill
of course, that was one of his.

You stare long at the child
before looking up
skyward,

and I know you can't remember
when you last spoke my name.
