Snap crackle pop - The sound her toes make when I pull Alongside a squeal of giggles My turn She pulls my feet towards her -- I echo her laughter As my knuckles crack Two sisters playing with toys In the form of feet
Icicles pressed against one another Under clean sheets, fitting like puzzle pieces Little piggies heading to the market My head on his chest My hands wrapped around his waist
Snap crackle pop The sound my toes make As he pulls fast and hard “STOP IT” I yell But my laughter consumes me -- he knows me too well He knows not to stop
Purple pink yellow Like little candies, shining on the way to the park Clean cut grass slithering Between open crevices of feet
Snap crackle pop Stuck inside, him and i This time I don’t laugh So he pulls harder And I swerve into a curly cue
Icicles to icicles He’s quiet What's wrong - I say I’m tired he says
Me too I say (Let’s go for a walk)
Toe to toe Crunching rock and dirt Under our feet Masks on Looking up into the trees Light spills through eucalyptus Purple, pink, and yellow
What do you miss the most I ask I miss strangers Dancing in a bar I miss my friends I miss a lot, he says
I wake up to the sound of snap crackle and pop Hands and fingers and knuckles Shifting Rearranging bone Rearranging priorities
