green, except by the sea.
suddenly gray, water emerges.
quiet, except when not.
revisits treasures,
often disinterested in new.
ice cream, cup not cone.
likely to love,
equally to forget.
wooden floors,
for one purpose only.
summer chirping, autumn creak.
everything in place,
minus thursday's laundry.
sweeping locks behind ears,
2, 4, 6, 8...lots of holes.
(but likes the pain)
birthday present hymnal,
self-help library.
one brown puppy,
to share a twin-sized bed.
pão de deus,
com queijo e manteiga,
alarm clock cringe,
late night piddle.
laughter and pink cheeks,
pocket-full-of-posies.
grins for the sky and sea,
tears for the space between.
butterflies for plans unseen,
cloud 9 for the dream.
