Destiny and Breanna
Just a jasmine yesterday
the children were collapsing
into cough and fever, -
still their young frames
appear as bleached incident
reports of misdemeanour illness,
still they long to linger near
the black medic flower meadow,
brown eyed susans, and white
blossoms of Queen Anne's lace.
When I say "we'll go," they
both jump, as if the entire
weekend were to be kinder gym
jungle lined with apple grass.
