5 Year Old Logic On A Winter Night
Under quilts he
says he is too hot
folding down the bed to
a sheet & one blanket
he looks up & says
End Of Story
Looking out at the hillside
Across the river and over the
Trees from our home Carson asks —
Did we climb that mountain?
I say, No, but mommy and I did.
Nodding, he decides, Oh yeah,
We climbed that before I was born.
Childhood
jumping
to look
into a
mirror
Off To School
except for
his base-
ball cap I
could kiss
him easily
