Lady fingers and angel dust
the magic of imagining that
we are loyalty in a foriegn land
where dragon bones lay silent
in its defiant defense of
its capturers enraptured heart.
For the room of the child
is as mobile as their mind
malleable and unique as
a creations they celebrate with
in their land of pretend.
I look forward to the day
when I can while away my
lazy afternoons with my
exuberant, life-loving daughter
who will grow up far too quickly
and perhaps share revelry with
a son who tosses embarassment aside
to gather up the precious moments
of gay innocence and loving ease
before he becomes a warrior
fighting the battles of will
Ive already won through my trials
and when my warnings
fall upon deaf ears
as they did when I played pretend
with my favorite person
on this chaotic planet.
thank you guys, I try hard.
thank you guys, I try hard. Love yalls stuff too.
I like this
and perhaps share revelry with
a son who tosses embarassment aside
to gather up the precious moments
of gay innocence and loving ease
before he becomes a warrior
fighting the battles of will
