My Son Walked Across the Graduation Stage Wearing a Bright Red Dress While Hundreds of People Laughed. I Was the Only Person in the Auditorium Who Knew Why.
Julian video-called from a noisy dorm.

Snow came.
I said Lily’s name at the feeder.
Caleb said it too, late, like a man trying a language he used to punish himself for speaking.
