eggs hidden in the yard
boys search
in competition

 

 

 

 

late nights
street lights on
racing home

 

the creased photo
faint and sorrowful
falls on the wet pavement

 

 

 

 

old buildings
a rusty ladder
wood panels for windows

 

continuously
talking to
     the ones that aren’t here

 

 

 

 

soccer tryouts
heart pounding like never before
prayers up

 

day at the zoo
cheeks smoother glass
animals peer

 

 

 

 

pain i have
deep down
no-one will ever know



wind
the worst comb
strands all around

 

 

 

mothers good morning alarm
pancake bubbles
tired eyes     excited nose

 

step off the plane
coats hung in the closet
feet in the water

 

 


growing up fast
only slowing down
at grandma’s house
