Kid Poem my kid snow & mother no more than a heart beat now but. dog snow falls on the warm where you are in time beat it kid find your face i love but you are beyond it there float on a heartbeat because we made you–-ha! hello before you know words climb in that bell of flesh trucks slide (still coming down!) clouds barks trash cans steam of smiles & frowns wide sky shouting ting! ting! nothing much here but come anyway I'll be by the door where it's drifted to say hi lean on light give you a kiss maybe you won't want it think about color you won't see till you're new & hunger'll never go away shake hands with it you be a heart beat far beyond this century o.k? beam back what you see Past & Future glow snow under your mother's heart warm & the only place kid to suck your thumb drink the good juice pee it out stay there awhile soon it'll warm up i promise cry a little when you hit town laugh then grow in summer light when this snow's a museum piece key in the lock learn to say "more". milwaukee feb. ‘83
