“Little Lover”




I really want to be with you
So much that I even washed and
Scraped the dirt from my nails, too—
“Pretty, pretty”, my sisters said to me, as I
Combed my hair to appear as the sea
I whipped the waves around my head
Sitting down, I put on my best socks, seated
On my bed—where I had slept a sleep, for you
Where I promised to make you happy, too
Some lovely dreams of you there—many,
I mean—many dreams … of you, you, you
Hated being awaken by surprise, unless
You were standing there—only, I wish I could
Stop that raging sea of my hair, and
The sunshine in my eyes
My mom would only let me play if I
Took out the trash—I wanted to see you
So, I cleaned the house, brushed my teeth,
Took out the trash—I cleaned my room too,
For a change
It wasn’t tough like it used to be—
I wanted to see you, you, and
You—smiling back at me, me, me
Wearing my favorite cowboy hat, jacket,
Shirt, pants, and boots….
