first year at summer camp
arms around her mother’s waist
a little girl changes her mind

new car scent 
dad cries 
tears of accomplishment

new car scent
after all these years
dad's tears

new car scent
moving the tassel
to the rearview mirror

rolling green pastures
mud pies
lovingly scolded by mom

mud pies
all over the porch
Mom grins, scolding them

mud pies
all over the yard
mom scolds

Midnight rain
Wet and cold
Feeling Incomplete

midnight rain
wet and cold
something missing

dark and misty moon
wrapped in blankets by the windowsill
we watch them go by 

dark misty moon
by the windowsill
I watch them walk by

misty dark halls
red nose clown
teenagers on the run
