At Auntie's House #169







A fistful of dandelions
and wishes,
ear-pealing squeals,
panting and sweaty,
sprawled out on a blanket
pulled from Auntie's bed.
She didn't have any children;
she had me instead,
running into her house
looking for her kisses.

She was my sun-
her love imprinting
all my days.

  2. A glimpse into a corner of life, the more vivid and vital for its relative brevity.
