the law of distressed real estate

what if i took one day.
this day. today. to stop
and watch you grow. would i
see the roundness of your cheek
slim to reveal the girl underneath?
witness the blues in your eyes swirl.
shift. sparkle. until they resemble
pebbles worn smooth by the river:
    greens under grays
    golden edges of smoke.

[if i were to take one day this day today and watch you age would i see the curve of your cheek subtly fall away to reveal the girl beneath the infant? would i see your eyes shift from blue to the colors of a rock worn smooth by the river. greens lurking beneath the grays. yellow on the edges of smoke.]
