let me tell you
a bed time story

one that can take you
so far back into
your childhood

that you
can
smell
the perspiration that
ran down your back
that cold afternoon
in march
when you just knew
what was about to happen

let me tell you
a bedtime story

one in which you'll feel
her dispirited eyes
look into you
as if you were an ocean

but dear
oh dear with that oil spill
she won't see far
will she

you're asleep
but i know
you hope not

let me tell you a story
a bedtime story
about the loss of innocence
and then you'll feel
more grown up

i always knew
you were a big girl

Ugh - this gave me the shivers.

Nicely done.
