Waverly Place


Waverly Place

Wearing Your Heart on My Sleeve

When I was eight there were cobblestones in the street
that were paved over that year.
My mother stood at the kitchen window
her hands in a sink of warm sudsy water
watching the bulky yellow trucks
lay the asphalt
and sighed,
"that's progress."
