under leafy, trees
beside children and men
who were busy today
having fun, meeting friends
with nobody needing us
every minute of every day
we shared thoughts
asked questions
re-wrote scripts that we have been led to believe
opened labelled boxes wider:
mother, sister, good mother, who knows what
we stepped out
just a little
peeked out
and liked what we saw
who knows,
sometime soon,
armed with empty journals
and pens that make us happy
we will write our own stories
soon
a year later, a sister promised
my heart sings with that promise
a part of me left behind
under that shade
I face the sun once more
