Two Little Girls Grew Up Here
Two little girls
grew up here in this happy place
Trees and lawns
and puppy dogs and peace
From sandals and
shorts to graduation gowns -
Sometimes when
gardening I find their little treasures:
A plastic watch
face whose bright colors remain
The broken handle from a toy teacup
A cap pistol
with a rusted mechanism -
I don’t know
what belonged to my own child
Or to that
little girl from long ago
Who, when she
was grown, drank herself to death
