'Thoughts Four'

'Thoughts Four'

The unfamiliar music

meant nothing

to their young ears

Unsealed sweet memories

In the heart of the old man..

The ancient pot bellied stove

Remembered

For he was the warm center of it

all during winter's laughter and tears.

The tiny hand

Grasped his rough finger

Sending rivulets of love

To his brand new

"Fathers" heart...

The big tears

made tiny trails

Along his

Smudgy upturned face...

It must be Spring

Oh..what a site

When every tree

Bursts forth a kite...

Remember how it felt?

A brick wall?

A warm chicken egg?

A wet frog?

Pumpkin guts?

Baby bird?

Firefly?

June Bug?

Turtle eggs?

Cows teats with

Mud caked on them?

I do.

'Nurse'

She holds

Your hand

Through the

Tall grass...

'Temper'

Boiling up

Then boiling over

Makes for clean up

Not for clover.
