cities made of sand
castles at the creek
bright ponies in my hand
dancing with the life I gave.
my sister beside and we
made stories and secret loves
wars caves rescues monsters
the cats now sphynxes
giants against our small world
lively hooves flashing manes
frozen in plastic, the ponies
they lived with me
prancing through my summers
hidden in my schooltime backpack
on the playground
in my windowsill
dreaming of green fields
my brief innocent bliss
frozen in plastic, the ponies.
