Adolescent Scabs of the Child

The Universe is funny with timing

And I am impatient

Like a primrose patch blooming in the curbside 

Rut of a holy rolling Southern city

Where my seeds landed 

By way of blaming the winds and rains

Before I learned for what to wish

Wearing the Pride mask of renegade whimsy

Abandoning my barefoot babe forever

Running and skinning her ankles to bleed

Trampling the blades of the glacial plaines
