Inheritance 

​
The childhood sat between us
we stepped around it 
careful of each other’s space
 
examined the edges  sharp and smooth
looked for some give   an opening--
it was still so new
 
thumping revealed only 
that it was mostly solid--
small hollows here and there
 
impresent  like impossible
he said   and I could only agree
we’re both still learning the language
