SOLSTICE FRAG MENTS
--for my daughters
The coat she wore,
all ripped out.
Pink with red flannel lining
her name written on
inside label with a magic marker.
Her teacher gets her a new one
but she never wears it.
She wears the pink one.
Her teacher asks her,
Wouldn’t the new one be better.
No, because mama gave me that one
and she lives in Seattle.
She lives with her dad
and his step-mom in Yakima.
Her teacher knows
some one who sews.
Yes, she would like her coat
to be turned into a pillow.
