our bellies on hot tea
and toast.
peanut butter
and sweet jellies.
apples picked
from a neighbor's yard,
black cherries too.
white bread and eggs.
but halloween
was a blessed night.
and how
we marveled
at our bags spread out
on the floor
trading
bars of chocolate,
between one
another.
our eyes wide with
joy.
we'd toss and turn
in our beds,
our boney arms against
each other,
full of sugar,
but all seemed well.
