The sky is Crayola sky blue.
Mommy, I know a secret place.
Milk chocolate eyes wide,
he leads me to a foot-slapped path
and through a moat of sticks until
we stumble on a stony shore,
nestled to a sheath of water.
See the light sparkly on the water?
My mind tangled, knotted, on a long,
twined, string of future, follows the thin,
tight, line, back to my eyes.
The melting sun pours rays
on the bay, it sparkles and glints
like broken glass on concrete in August.
