of what I’m doing right now,
leading my sons to the daylight creek
feeding them lunch and
skipping rocks, not just
to feed them, not just
to pass the time
________but rather
to build a simpler time
to build a memory of a simpler time,
the way bones build a skeleton, the
way a tree has to fall before
a house can be built or before a
paper can be read
so angels
________please
take note of this,
________record
this moment,
________write
it in the margins
of my indiscretion.
