My Gold
Tough cunning, lithe of foot but shy am I
Like a hunted fox I race down the
entry onto the cobbled road.
Footsteps closer –panic fills my soul.
I trip and lose my grasp, it falls.
Milk, milk, disperses everywhere.
I loose my gold!
Soggy Wellies squelch as
I try to catch my breath.
Scaling the wall topped with broken glass,
Blood gushes from my knee.
My would be hunter yells over.
”I’ll get you wait and see”.
With a heavy heart I scurry home
The babbies crying, his feet are cold,
His nose is runny his ears are hurting.
The embers in the fire have almost died
I have no milk I’ve lost my gold.
An empty titty bottle I find to pacify his howl
He sucks loudly hungrily on his titty,
I steel away into the cold dark night air.
The corner shop is empty
the door is still ajar.
I jump the mat, no bell it rings,
I snatch the milk and bolt for home.
My heart feels good ………
My little brother has ceased to cry,
And I am pacified this night.
