Mud mingling with snow mingling with dirt,

the remnants of red nail polish from 

Valentine's Day,

how has it lasted so long? 

The sun a hot fiery ball over the cloud-speckled horizon,

AirPods oh AirPods now where could you be?

On the table or stuck in a tree?

AirPods oh AirPods where art thou now?

When will you come around?

AirPods oh AirPods just show a whiff,

One,

tender, small hands

reaching for the bottle of milk,

the contents inside sloshing around.

Two,

dragging a faded stuffed bunny

around the kitchen’s island,

one… more… step…

Three,

No one needs to hear your jokes, 

Your remarks or your sneers,

No one needs to be pushed under

By the sea that you've filled

With the laughs that you've drawn

From ignorant thoughts,

Nature blessed us

Gave us a sun, water and air

Food, land and more

And so what did we give back?

We used the land given to us

i know you

the quiet one never heard

i know you

the one with eyes like a deer

i know you

the one tagging along at the back

i know you

the one last picked in a game

i know you
