Today is a day for
soup and
put-your-hood-up-when-you-go-outside,
for English accents and cups of tea.
It's a day for
wet roads
and grey skies.
The little girl who lives next door
hides under a pile of squash
in her front yard.
She's wearing a red rain jacket
and crying.
her dirty blonde hair drips in rags
beside her face,
cheeks red from the cold.
Next to her is a muddy teddy bear
with buttons for eyes
and a matted brown coat.
The first memory she has of her father
is picking mulberries by a creek.
He gave her the muddy teddy bear.
Rain reminds her of him,
so she stays outside while the thunder booms
and cries because she loves
(loved)
him.
