| Glitter and prayer
|
NicMichaels
| A mother stuffs holidays | 1 |
with marshmallow chick sunshine - | 2 |
| |
she wants you in Easter baskets all your life | 3 |
because | 4 |
outside the same porch, | 5 |
on a different Sunday, comes | 6 |
| |
the neighbor's family dog. His only vice | 7 |
actual rabbits | 8 |
| |
un-seaming themselves | 9 |
in foil tufts. He proffers | 10 |
the soiling of real | 11 |
| |
grass, you bury your pets | 12 |
with a popsicle-stick cross. | 13 |
Glitter, prayer. Adult | 14 |
| |
curl a sermon of ribbon | 15 |
for little fingers to grab. But who can choose | 16 |
| |
between holidays and dogs? | 17 |

This is a great write. You have the ability to take the simplist of life's moments and give them an edge. You have a unique and special voice, poet.
