forgotten saturdays
yesterdays
lemonade stand driveways
sidewalk chalk bubblegum flavoured
never ways
she tangles daisy chains and grass stains
late night coin operated washing machine
dreams
she asks the mislead father time
why has the moon gone bad
again
bounce the ball
pick up the jacks
one by two by three by four
finding answers in the skinned knee boy
kissed chapped lips like love
rose bush scratch scars
bloodletting
happy endings
she wonders where he left the remnants of a daughter
hair curls and five snaps down the backside
osh kosh
sears clearance sale
dirt
tear stains
wisp of a promise
blown out candlelight birthday cake
shut your eyes
one by two by twelve by fourteen
she grows and grows
he never knows
