A Second TripA Poem by EmilyI Put Your Crib In The Back Seat Of My Car In Pieces Screws In A Baggy Neatly Taped To The Bar With Your Teeth Marks Still In The Wood From When You Cut Your Bottom Left Tooth I Rocked You In The Chair For Hours That Night Swaddled Tightly In Your Favorite Purple Fuzzy Blanket Cold Washcloth In Your Mouth I Put Your Pink Silky Quilt Set In The Front Seat I Have Not Washed It Since You Left It Still Smells Like Your Baby Lotion I Will Have To Make A Second Trip To Give Away Your Stroller The One I Spent Hours Picking Out Brown With Pink Flowers Not Too Big, Not Too Small And You Never Liked Sitting In It You Wanted To Be Held In My Arms I’m Keeping Your Black Shiny Shoes Your Hair Bows And The Little White Dress I Was So Excited To Put On You © 2012 Emily |
