Weathered
Song of Childhood

Paula Ray

Sarah pounded
a snaggle-toothed xylophone,
rainbow paint chipped away,
aluminum flesh--exposed.

Mary Had a Little Lamb.
Sarah had a brittle dog
and voodoo baby dolls.

She followed me home
from school one day,
which was against the rules.

I offered her an apple.

She dropped it when she saw me
pick up the phone to call her mother.

When I asked her mom to come get her,
I noticed Sarah
get on her knees
and begin picking the bruise
on the apple,
digging her nails deeper into the wound.
