Childhood Things


Childhood things are too big, and wounds are half-healed.
Time is filled with pain, social aggression and pinwheels.
I hoarded the stings, overlooked simple treasures.
To wish them back is age's Epimethian measure.

  1. This is one of my poetry prompt poems. Today's prompt centered on an object from childhood, but this poem doesn't come close to resembling what the book asked me for.
