Valentine Virginia

Valentine Virginia
how I miss those summer days
my mother’s grand parents
old memory stained trailer
kick ball field
bases out of nothing
water pump
mud pies
gritty floor
green box
easter egg hunts
the Braves
back yard tomatoes
flannel shirt
suspenders
thick glasses
slips me a quarter
smiles
decaying in that morbid room
me too young
I didn’t understand
not allowed to see
goodbye old friend
goodbye Valentine Virginia
some how I knew
you would also come to an end
