On Feverish Dreams

In the delirium of my
infantile joy
I cannot awake
even as you seal
with a click
the door of our
momentary refuge
consummating a slow beginning
even our mothers
did not foresee and
in the dimness of
my humanity
I grope for your
glassy eyes and their
salty confusion
trusting wandering time
to carry you
my fledgling
back to me
