Little things

Life it’s all in the little things . Smiles , faces, hands  and hearts .

Skin

I think of you
as my eyes
eclipse into
two moons

how it feels
to grow up
like fruits
without
a skin,

reminds me
i'm old enough
to know about
some pain

to be born
without love
and country,

this certain
darkness.

Ouch!

Pinch punch
first of the month
white rabbits
no return
but a flick a kick
for being so quick
the crazy things
we learned

Growing Pains

It's an age old
Rite of passage,
When an 'oh boy!'
Groans to be
An 'aw man.'

Xmas is another word for hell

Christmas morning
comes

father drunk,
   parents fighting

     growing up is hell

Why Are You Leaving Me, Mommy?

She keeps on walking away
like she no longer loves me!

The Pumpkin Boy

The pumpkin boy’s my favourite:
too old to trick-or-treat,
but so handsome in ruffled shirt
and grinning mask.
He’ll soon replace my son.

saturday mornings

looking upon my childhood I see a kid who would rather read a book whilst lying in bed instead of going out with the other kids

On One Saturday Morning

Billy was watching
cartoons on one
Saturday morning
and not paying
attention to Krusty
the cat who stared
at the laces on his
blue sneakers.

A Locked Room

locked door
dark room
cold porcelain
yellowed tiles
shining silver
I was small, so small
I just wanted to feel big
a river of red
an accident
people
so many people

it feels like I’ve never left

was I seven or eight

that tatty old bear was in bed with me until
when, precisely, mother, did you throw teddy out?
