In The Backyard


At the dawn of dusk –
I went out with my child
                      to the sandbox.
Seeing colors of yellow and blue
turn to this green memory –
then the blue with red
casting out a violet night –
As we carried plastic pails
                      into the dreaming
of an empty tire swing
waiting for weight or wind.
