Porridge<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We sit on the porch and swing,<\/p>\n
legs pumping, small breezes<\/p>\n
coming from beneath our feet.<\/p>\n
We just finished reading<\/p>\n
the story of the three bears,<\/p>\n
my own little bears mesmerized<\/p>\n
at the porridge, the beds,<\/p>\n
the cottage that seems just like ours<\/p>\n
if our lives were a fairytale.<\/p>\n
When the pages close, they run<\/p>\n
through the grass, fast as trees<\/p>\n
zipping by in mountain-bound<\/p>\n
cars. They don\u2019t grow tired,<\/p>\n
even in the heat of the rays<\/p>\n
of summer falling behind<\/p>\n
the tops of leaves. The baby<\/p>\n
sucks the bottle as fire-<\/p>\n
flies turn into stars, making<\/p>\n
me wonder if I was just<\/p>\n
a masked stranger dreaming<\/p>\n
of what I wish could stay real.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
