chocolate girl

in cycle

i'll lead you around the ocean

where grass grows

and remnants of you in devotion

my breath's out

inhaling upon trees

it's frozen

and look out

and trace along the house where shit is frozen

then holding

quietly

the sound is dead

and sing in turn

in light. when life meets child

your only plight

in light. when ceilings smile

we'll sleep a while

in light. i'll take you for walks among the patients

she had a pretty dad

but she was growing out of play-school

still she could kick and scream and play

until she wanted to. my little chocolate girl. her brother barely out of high school

lived in a place where he could scream

until he wanted to. oh fuzzy tidy cat. and she could bury him in apples

and curl around a bowl of cotton

'til she wanted to. still she had to speak loud

'cause hearing isn't

i am here with them"
