A park
In between the dark
And the light
Side of town,
Full of sings
From 1874.
Sand,
Covered the chocolate candy brown
Girl’s feet.
The sand
Of an hour glass,
Three fourths full.
Laughing,
Playing,
Enjoying,
The time she had
In the park that day.
With a fragile,
Paper white girl.
Not knowing
Why her mother said it wasn’t safe.
Best friends,
Half full.
They weren’t noticed
Until later.
One-fourth full.
Screaming,
Kicking,
Crying,
Last goodbyes
For ever,
As a fragile
Small,
paper white girl
Was being dragged away
“I want to do everything she does!”
By her mother.
Left,
A small
Chocolate candy brown
Child—ashamed.
Sitting
Quietly—wondering
What she’d done wrong,
On the driftwood swing-sets.
Hour glass:
Empty.
Sand:
Wet with tears.

ReplyDeleteAwww! Good thinking about putting in the date. I like how it had half full, one forth full, and three forths full about the sand, it made it poetic:)
