"Litter"

Mine is an alchemic
culture of play
curiosity come
across creeks
under  waves

stones thrown in
pools form
rings pulsing out
to where
I'm without
traditional tools

I create
drip castles
from straws
of wet sand my
band whistles bottle caps
lips pursed
placed hands

I am play
in a way to fall
into the child
I wasn't I
resign my mother's
therapist no more

Intentional costumes
for the alchemic child
I was
but will not be
at odds with 'grow up'
