&quot;We are born with two incurable diseases -- life, from which we die; and hope, which says maybe death isn&rsquo;t the end.&quot;<br /> - Andrew Greeley


"There's a light
when my baby's in my arms",
his hollow bird-bones soft and pale
beneath my fingers.
I brush his feathers out of his face and pray
that he will fly away to a place
where he won't need wings
and can solidify into a man
instead.
I know I could still find him.
