The end of just us.
Everything is different now.
Not just the moments
but the unwavering precision of being.
The depth of gravity is validated;
it’s been valet-parked
amid the aisles
of handsome memories
we’ve carefully stowed
in our showroom minds.
Those persnickety details,
plumbed and pored
through historian fingers,
are fleeting.
Like how little we slept last night,
or how sweetly puckered is a nipple,
or a dimpled butt cheek, or a pair
of baby lips that cusp and coo.
They are each devoid of need
Or circumstance.
Our everythings have altered.
Skewed their orbit and
shot skyward through
that great, dark
blossoming orchard of stars
by the bushel.
We ourselves are
more than diaper changing.
We are not just us.
The us we are is cavernous.
It is vast.
And it is us.
But we will never be
just us
again.
