before "what happened? "happened
remember when he first learned
how to escape his crib
we'd be watching X-files
and hear his footsteps move from carpet to tile
first to appear, fingers on the doorframe
then the lean around bright eyed peek!
open mouth smile
not at all sleepy
he'd come running to us
up to the the sofa
up between us
before
before he stopped calling for us
before he stopped looking
around corners for us
back before he sunk under
unfocused stare, spinning
always spinning, running
always running away
