today,
time is tinier
than the tiniest
tooth in your
tiny cousin’s
mouth who is
telling of time
clearer than
the clock.
her tiny hands
grow every
week and her
tiny hair thick-
-en overhead
and her tiny
fingers tighten
over the pen
and her tiny
feet tire at
the stairs.
when the picture
is taken, you two
are sat together
and time is as
tiny as the
talk coming
out of her
tiny, teething
mouth as
she turns to
the camera.
