Where did you go?
Childhood did I lose you
somewhere along the way
moments that simply vanished
events I can’t recall
I remember
curly blonde hair
pen marked forehead ~ I called
you Irene like my mum
pink lace dress, plastic clicking eyes
wrought iron fireplace briquettes
wood piled high watching as the
magic circling smoke wafted
up the chimney bricks
cushions stacked a castle made; sheets
from beds my little place – with plastic
tea-cups filled with water, my dolls my
guests inside and parents not allowed
backyard play and fences climbed till

over I go head first concrete never
soft – sore head – painful head
cries to mum, I lived to tell the tale
being minded playing marbles
hmm the large one is soooo pretty
GUlp
fingers down the back of throat
this I remember well
shuttlecock soaring into the air
laughter family brothers playing
dad in knee high socks
holidays with rain in tents
strumming a guitar on fallen
gum tree; vacant paddock calling
out as center stage, not so in tune
voices with my besty from next door
there are photographs
to remind me ~ not many but a few
this is only how I remember
how I’ll remember you
