Words
when we were kids
locked in a car
in front of a bar
all the windows down
we traded our words
like our special things
then one boy says
marcella, it means beauty
another boy told me
marcella means blue skies
another little boy says
marcella means my brother
a little girl says
marcella means breathe
then a girl says
marcella means my mother
she's been serving this one
to trade for something special
I am quiet for a while
respecting this word's meaning
my word is marcella
it is a way of feeling
it means something like
to be longing for
you dear sister
are the only one
the only one
I can think of
to finish that thought
to be longing for
marcella means sister
my sister
