Summer Child


When I was a summer child, I kept
my milk in a mason jar, submerged
in a cool Cane Creek where I played for
hours on end, whispering stories
to the wind; I heard the voices of
trees who were my friends, who cuddled a
lonely child and held her close. I was
raised by the wilderness, a small wild
bird, flitting here and there by the brook.
