Sulky Girl
By: Me
I see you sulking,
breathing your sighs.
Feathers in your hair,
rollin' your eyes.

You'd rather be dancin'
out in the summer sun.
Wearin' your mom's old dress,
damn the sixties were fun.

*She's my summer sulky girl
My ecstatic trippy queen
The happiest I've ever been

You pretend that you don't
see the boys peekin' through the fence.
So caught up,
glowin' in your own essence.

Searchin' for lost treasures
hidden in boxes in the attic.
The dust caught you up,
the air was so static.

*

Your backyard afternoon sessions
Your winter-long depressions
The sun you made dance with the willows
the dandelions that blew in whirlwinds
... just for you

*
My summer sulky girl
Happiest I've ever been
