Early Years

Our bicycles on a dirt road

weaving between trees

trying to beat the sun home

You laughing
hard like the letter K
pause to cross
string fingers

Pray your big brother doesn’t know
his baseball cards
are in our spokes

Mosquito bit legs

pump in unison

My blue jacket flapping in the wind
