moments of childhood

As though the net began and ended with the bang,

Things held between fingers,

Dead skin in leaves of fall dew meadow,

Meddling in the library walls,

Unwelcome abomination of dead wrath,

A hand held soft wide open,

Casting to the meadow scream,

The very tulip in the garden,

The dirt that cast a shadow,

Planting more leaves.
