END OF STORY ~









5 Year Old Logic On A Winter Night





Under quilts he

says he is too hot



folding down the bed to

a sheet & one blanket



he looks up & says

he is too cold








End Of Story





Looking out at the hillside

Across the river and over the

Trees from our home Carson asks —

Did we climb that mountain?



I say, No, but mommy and I did.



Nodding, he decides, Oh yeah,

We climbed that before I was born.






Childhood






jumping

to look

into a

mirror






Off To School






except for

his base-

ball cap I

could kiss

him easily
