Blue cup, sucky beaker
took me a little longer, to let it go
salmon pink lid, seablue
and an elephant, grey (with a snorkel?
and a smile, perhaps a bit of red)
Hot apple juice, hot milk
Comfort of warmth in hands
sent me off to sleep
like a baby, blue cup,
sucky beaker, salmon pink lid
and seablue, I let it go a long time ago
when childhood had to end.
