Poem for Tuesday, June 2, 2009


Like Happy Savages

We traipsed around like
       happy savages
barefoot on rocks and
       dancing on land mines (boom!)

Sun-scorching our Anglo backs
       against cool muddy water
grains of sand wedging down the
       crevices of our souls

Who decided that we were grown and
did I hear you say that we're brothers?

Nothing short of a swine's
       head on a staff
casting a silhouette for fairy
       dances and lightning bugs and

We traipsed around
       until we just couldn't anymore
