My Little Boy
Sculpted in firelight:
My baby boy's shadow plays
With Daddy's new guns
-
Jars of milk from home
The crate sits unsupervised...
Slap his thieving hands
-
Manufacturing
A red-headed toy soldier
I button his vest
-
Filthy book opens,
The newest history lesson
Of a brown today
-
Stormy clouds gather
Throws my favorite boat away
Wood for my casket
