Scarlett Treat Poems

Not one of us
Wants to admit
Death will come
To all of us,
...

I don't quite remember
When it was, or maybe
Where it was...
...

We're together...
But apart!
Together in body,
Apart in heart.
...

If I could turn back time,
I would,
But my clock
Has no hands,
...

When she was young,
still a child, I mean,
she left a trail behind herself,
of toys, candies, chewing gum wrappers,
...

The first time
ever
I held you,
so soft
...

Oh, those ordinary days,
Days of sameness,
Days of summer idleness,
When Mama threw us out of the house,
...

There are those among us
Who have been, for years,
Living in Houses...not well
Protected Houses...but Houses
...

Let me dance just once more,
In my shining red shoes,
The ones which flash red sparkles
When I twirl around the floor
...

I could hardly breathe,
I was so breathless with excitement!
He was finally here,
After all the long hours
...
