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…
