Anniversary - Kevin Young

[Larry Robinson]

Anniversary


The day will come 

when you’ll be dead longer 
than alive—thankfully 

not soon. 
There are of course years 

long before, without you 
breathing—and your years 

without me even 
an idea. Then there are those 

infant months, when I knew 
your voice, your bearded 

face, not your name— 
at least to speak 

it aloud. And in the night, 
father, I cried out 

and in the day— 
like now.


	- Kevin Young
