joint custody
the sunflowers are watching
the empty swing hangs heavy
in sultry air
it rained last week
the sunflowers are watching
the sandy path to the swing is undistubed
the rain erased her footprints
stalks have grown together in the field
the sunflowers are watching
What a beautiful, poignant poem. Love your use of the form, and love the heartfelt images, especially “the empty swing hangs heavy” and “the rain eased her footprints.” Thanks so much for sharing.
