Dusty Memories
It's noon and the sunlight is white The heat hanging heavy Cool sheets smelling like lavender The air fragrant with cigarette smoke and tea My mom is taking a siesta forcing me to lay by her side But the Summer day is so full of promise I can't sleep I crawl soundlessly out of her reach Then spring to my feet and run clutching my doll, Mumbling sweet love I'm the momma now Strolling in my childhood garden Drunk with happiness and smell of Jasmin I'm free
