My Children?
May 6, 2013
You laugh heartily
watching
the children
play
from a distance.
Sweet magnolia
perfumes the air
Bees fly drunk
through your pristine
garden.
Oh how proud
you are
of your garden
The talk of town
the hours spent
tending young flowers
while your children
sit
rejected
like weeds you pull.
Tell me sister
dearest
How do
children
grow?
