Scene 35: First Halcyon Days

Remember the sands
of shovels and pails grand,
dirt between toes
on dusty, grainy rows?

Remember the days
of tag and hiding places
fields red like rover,
filled with ducks, gooses and clovers?

Remember the cootie shots
of circle and circle, dot and dot
with valentines galore
and Valentine’s with no woe?
