I read you the children's storybooks that your parents sold
and buy you marbles like your old collection
(that one day was no longer there) and
we will sit craning our necks, healing our hearts
we can do arts and crafts projects
(and this time they will be hung up on the fridge)
and I'll double check your room for monsters
and your music box for pills
you have been compressed, ashamedly
for far too long
scoffed at and eyes rolled
if heads do
you are free now, protected and proud
you are safe and sound
join hands, and know that
these new planes of vulnerability keep you strong.
