The willful stage

I was told to expect
the willful stage
tantrums
biting

one mother said her son held his breath
until he passed out

but now that I see you
clambering over so much newness
every day an expedition
learning so much
you almost overheat

it’s clear

you are not angry
you are just baffled
by how small your hands are still
for such big dreams.
