you can’t see you changing
(from day to day)
but I can,
(and that’s why)
I took this picture of you
(smiling and naked)
in the bathtub—¹
(we’re all dying, you see)
¹I just want to be sure
that these days aren’t lost
in unrecorded time
and that someone
(other than me)
gets to see your perfect
thirty-year-old breasts.
