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

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
