we discovered
the game “d” —
one patch of crab grass
and one special phrase
–to the next world!
but don’t tell those
younger ones
waiting on the porch–
it is so secret
you have to whisper.
secret games of children

author note: technically i have committed a big no-no by even mentioning “d” here. the author hopes she can be forgiven by the one who knows. and sorry little sisters for never letting you play! haha
