The Landscape of the Playground
Sadness in my heart…profound
Ripping, tearing, sinking, deepening
As my sweet, angelic toddler
Sits alone
Sits alone…content
Preoccupied with crushed stone
Examining, scrutinizing
Sorting and counting
Sorting and counting…stones
Her back to the others
Peers, frolicking and laughing
On jungle gyms and slides
On jungle gyms and slides…together
Save one
Each enjoying
The landscape of the playground.
