Text for Tired Eyes:

Is this what you wished for on all of the candles on all of the
birthday cakes from when you were tiny?  Did you watch the smoke
rise to the ceiling and believe with all your little heart that your
wish rose with it, disappearing into everywhere the instant it was
received by whomever would do the receiving.  I want to somehow
tell you that I can feel my childhood inside me, screaming and
slapping the walls of my chest and when those tiny hands are covered
in the red of this aching and they match the color of those tiny knees
and the weight of it all crumples his tiny body to the floor of my
insides what then do I say?  Do I apologize and re-light every candle
he’s ever blown out in some weak and hollow attempt to repent for the
madness he will one day face, the longing he will wrap himself in?
