i been 11 for 6 years now
scared of being older. my
momma done up and left me
with this baby, it's sick all
the time, throwin up white stuff,
coughin. i let it suck my finger
so it can shut up. i say, "hush now,
we all we got." it look up at
me like it know what i say.
it smile, blow bubbles, talk
gibberish. blue marbles for eyes,
copper skin. it's my momma's alright.
i hug it close and watch it dream.
