My...

Only lit by the cautious sunlight that rebelliously shines through the crack in the curtain – if she dares
And thank God...

They are moving slowly around the curb
Penetrating the city that is  full of nerves
They are circling around the town with a
temper that has outgrown their raw emotions
 nerves meeting with nerves and nerves pinching
Nerves.Bad...

Away from free loading fathers and filthy no-goods,

Hickory Dickory Dock, the mouse,
Ran up the clock,
But the crooked little man
In his crooked little house,
Who caught this crooked mouse
After Humpty Dumpty's fall,

November air pours in from the dark island night
Through our Caribbean windows, 
A sea salt breeze, an exhale, white cushioned wicker chairs
Window slats turned out 
And I turned in, a white nightgown

She lays solo in the rickety bed -
a hand-me-down from a cousin removed.
Dust bunnies swirl and dance overhead
in the early morning sun, beckoning her awake.
A chill in the air sends...
