A-Z

Sometimes fewer words are
Better, than a mouth full of alphabet soup.

Splinters in the garden

You decorated the old garden fence
When you were still teething
Carving your name in the old wood
Like a student carves their name
Into a school desk
So everyone can remember
They've been there
Like you had been here
Sometime
Before.

Dialing

I promised I'd call
him because I memorized his
phone number,
but I got busy and
he's still waiting
for my call.
