Pocahontas-ed – v2


I can hear them now,
ages four and six,
squabbling a bit, not settling
wrapped in Pocahontas
downstairs on the pull-out couch

Gramma and the two girls
sheets, comforter, pillow cases too
Indian princess covering ours
a sleepover in the living room

fitfully quieting for the night
past her bedtime, approaching theirs
on the weekend, Saturday,
pushing for more time
before slumber wins out

Focused on My Family
note 9/26/19 –
not sure the basis of the change in plans,
Erica was 10, Shyanne 6, Shanequa 4;
but I wrote the poem Pocahontas-ed
at September 23, 2006 21:12, about 5 minutes later
about the girls sleeping downstairs with gramma
and about 15 minutes later I wrote the poem
Closer to the Fire at September 23, 2006 21:22
about YMCA summer camp years before
