Tiny Body

Tiny hands and tiny feet
Scramble at the door
Tiny eyes and tiny teeth
Call for someone cold
Tiny arms and tiny legs
Left out in the sun

Tiny hands and tiny feet
Hide among the toys
Tiny eyes and tiny teeth
Cry for someone’s warmth
Tiny arms and tiny legs
Cringe at spiteful words

Tiny hands and tiny feet
Grasp each other firm
Tiny eyes and tiny teeth
Listen at the door
Tiny arms and tiny legs
knocking at the floor

Tiny hands and tiny feet
Fumble with their end
Tiny eyes and tiny teeth
Watch the sharpened bend
Tiny arms and tiny teeth
Leak from end to end
