Every Saturday that squeaky screen door would brace itself.
Against the endless spring of youth wound tight.

I would scamper on my dirty little toenails.  A seven year hurricane holding treasure.

My broken bouquet swinging madly
and she would smile.

The only woman in the world...

And she would tell me how exotic it was. How beautiful. Just go on and on.

My tiny heart trying not to burst with enamored little boy confetti.

Such exotic rag weed.  
It must wilt in our finest vase.

Twice I gave chiggers to the worlds proudest general.

Displaying her Inflamed medals
with that fierce Momma look.

A look that that could scold the world
and sent it scurrying beneath our couch.

A look that said

I dare you.  Absolutely  dare you to  try and take these precious bites from me.

This is only the second or third thing I've read from you, but I can tell already I'll be looking up the rest of your poetry. I am in love with the lack of simplicity. So much depth. Makes me think. Wonderful
