Seth (for Kristen)

Brown hair

Wild like a free horse’s mane

And long, kissing the boy’s

Shoulders with its

Unruly

Tangled

Mouth.



Brown eyes

Shining and brimming

With life

As only a 29-year-old

With a voice

As clear and cool and

Tender

As his

Can know.



Brown skin

Rare

The color of sweet coffee,

The same shade

As a newborn fawn’s

Baby-fuzz.

A reminder of who

He is, and where

He comes from.
