Lifelong Gifts

 



When he was a little boy

he had the smoothest skin

darkly tanned and radiant

he loved to run


and swim. 


When he was eleven

he went away awhile

on a short vacation


with his mom 

our child. 


When upon returning

I asked him how it was


I saw a boy he told me

at a sandwich shop

his bicycle was broken

and he cried a lot. 


My little boy with no great toys

had feelings for another

and I thought he'll be alright

my son, father and brother.

Waiting To Reappear

 I had a state park pass that was stolen, appaently, off the mirror in my van.  It was a LIFE pass, good for geisers, who do not have enough...
