This Beauty
this beauty was so stunning,
it was beyond Lori Larson's aura in a bikini
at the only pool party i attended freshman year.
this beauty felt better than the state championship
season i had with the northshore spectre.
that year i hung my cleats half-way up
my wall as if they were a Picasso.
this kind of beauty came at a time
i lived in a hotel when i was waiting on a check,
two weeks behind on rent, and my wife had just come
home from the hospital worn out from a tedious labor.
this beauty appeared the night a christian woman who had
only heard about us from a mutual friend paid our rent debt ,
with no prior warning, over the phone.
it came when i layed down next to my newborn
with eyes free of the stresses that plagued me the past year.
my first fatherly moment
was on this beautiful night.
