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

poet, professor, president of the new england poetry club
