Playground Crew

Choppy happy scattered talks

Go round and round around us.

Playground chats all week soak in

to settle light and steady.

We've made it here to this fine place

Sharing mother duties.

I wash yours, you pick up mine

We've sewn affections into time

We've squeezed the lemons into wine

And now I'm strong and ready.

Thank you for feeding me

Your kind words, your beatnik tea

Your fresh cut Costco strawberries

(Your everyday offerings.)

It's good to be together.

Thank you, ries, it was a good week. One that I didn't plan but enjoyed a whole lot. Playgrounds are great that way.
