More by Angela Thomasmy hamster has
a little window
in his cage.
i have not had
a good cry in what
must be months.
he must see
everything with
a pale shade of
yellow.
the warm water
creeps between my
toes like summer's
hot sand.
the world must
look full of
sunshine and promise,
for little Boo.
i dissapear.
up to my cheeks,
everything gets
quiet.
i cant hear Boo
trying to get out
of his cage
anymore.
i close my eyes,
submitting to the
silence my furrowed
brow and crinkled eyes.
it looks like
summer here,
forward and soft. 01/14/2004 Posted on 01/15/2004 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas
