she
took him roller skating
over empty streets
when only milk men and roosters had woke.
they fell over a million times
and watched the sun rise
through bright eyes.
she would brush her hair
behind her ears
and he would smile
and they would grip to the
stone lining
of neighbor's yards
for balance.
-
he
clumsily rode over
untied laces,
trading picked daisies
to tuck between the strands
of their hair.
