Before, a Boy

Before, a Boy

written by: Emalisa Rose

 

Remember when the sun shone
cancer free and kissed your bones
with vitamin D and you swang shoeless
as a mockingbird, with painted toes
sketching skies, balanced on a cloud wisp
and dreams were many, for the taking.

Remember when the boys were “icky”
and the schoolgirls snickered at their
awkwardness.

***

Remember life

before a boy broke your heart…
