5.
As a young boy
He was

Eaten by
A beech tree

& never
Walked home

Again
The sky was

A conjuring sky
Blue with

Yellow stars
But his Momma

Found him
& carried him home

& washed his
Dark hair

With soap the
Color of

Wet amber
Like honey on

His head
It was gentle

To his fairy tale skin
He was scrubbed

& then fed
& he put on

The moon as he
Put on his PJs

& hid like a bug
Under the warm covers

In the dream
Of a storm

Most of what
He was

Was how he
Stayed silent

How he
Stayed hidden

He was
The young

Boy
Eaten by a

Beech tree
He was dreaming

He was
Somewhere

The windows
Nailed shut

& burning
Like phosphor
