pine trees all about
eagle circles overhead
dad buried in ground
mother threw five daisies in
one for each decade married
pine trees all about
eagle circles overhead
dad buried in ground
mother threw five daisies in
one for each decade married
my dad taught me
to fashion a snail shell
to protect from harm
she was a slug-child
no shell protecting her from
cruelty or salt
she was a slug-child
no shell protecting her from
kindness, beauty, love
slugs are tougher than they look
slugs are tougher than you think
