easter dress

these little moments
creep up and rise
like innocent tides
increasing and rolling

me at five in an easter dress
catches the eye of the clerk
he comments on how cute i look
with my dad

the pink lace and aqua ruffle
the grey haired man in the dark suit
keeps me from an emotion free
beer purchase

windows speckle like my cheeks
as i drive home
to an unsafe bed
that can hold dreams
and terrible nightmares
