untitled

who would believe it afternoon
when hunched and
fighting tears

small muddy shoes
trudge darkening streets
under november nimbuses?

who would believe it sunday
when distant and tight
little hands

hold a creaking echoing
swing
without a fight?

who would believe it you
when slowly and softly
careful

arms lift lonely
little shoulders onto
your own uncertain ones?
