Real Name: Roberta B.

About Me:
VINTAGE INNOCENCE
Its blooms are the same yellows and whites
As lamplight shining through ancestral lace
And a layer of falling snow
Yet the root of all nostalgia is
Survival, thick and convoluted
Reaching outward and downward to taper just above
Fear’s permafrost. The child now old
Who could not finish a bowl of oyster stew
One December 7th after his father turned on the lunchtime radio
Thinks things were safer then
Yes, because he was a child, responsible only
For cleaning his plate, collecting paper, selling bonds
Yet more because he is still here
