Piece of ’89 ( poem)

Started with chocolate mixed with cherry on my knee

A scab...turned over dark 


in the summer of '89

a tree summoned my bike


called on it for a dutiful mission


sun seduced me, 

joy and belly laughs diverted me

the tree wanted to engulf me

twist me up in its limbs


rock me

 
but it wasn't gentle like a lullaby

epidermis and dermis peeled away


revealed fresh pink, like my girlhood


my body was deceived by a lonely oak

my memory rewinds back

before concrete  scraped my face


and it was only blue skies
