“SIMPLICITY”

I miss simple things
your family and I
Two parents.
Three daughters.
Three lovers.

Playing pool at Christmas
in smoked backstreets
and an old motorcycle
mounted on the wall
like a butterfly

I miss your hands
and smiling at each other
whispered moments in kitchens
and sleeping in haunted houses
where no one could sleep.
