Skinned knees
And bloody nose,
Happy memories
Of child’s play.

Not a single
Tear poured out
Of the tiny, broken
Glass bead.

Lying on a corner
Of an old museum shelf
A tiny sad rock
Remembers.

Washed away
By the rising tide
Of morning dreams.

At the mess
Of splashing arms
And coughed up

The slender
Black tendrils
Spread over
The white page
As his pen
Methodically
Plowed it.
