Poem of the week – A Little While

Life, love and the world

A Little While

A little boy
playing
with words
a little voice
crying
for love
a little love
wasting
for you
the senseless patterns
of the garden butterfly
the insistent urgency
of the army motorcycle
all those hours
dropped in waiting
all those years
in hoping
a marshmallow love
that is never toasted
