- MOM SMILING,
HANGING CLOTHES
-
(a memory for Patti)
-
- behind the
apartments --
- a cinder block
garbage house
- where people
keep
- their garbage
cans;
- a damp place
with spiders
- in dusty webs
in corners.
- nonetheless we
love
- to play the
run-around-
- the-garbage-house
game
- (ashes ashes
we all fall down):
- running round
& round
- then dashing
inside, hiding
- behind the
dented smelly cans,
- (eyes on the
spiders)
- being found,
screaming,
- running out
& around
- & around
the house again.
- (Mom
smiling, hanging clothes
- the whole
time on the clothesline.)
