The bed was big
back then.
Enough for a childhood
of rolling in the grass
pillow forts
pumpkin carving
magical books (their wondrous things
postponing sleep)
dreams of cookie batter
ice cream cakes
french fries
all-together in a clouded future.
beautiful days (bleaching
blond hair blonder).
Perfect for a child and a father.
Too small for you,
alone.
