Dreams of the Pirates Child

by

Dina Dinsmoor

Our child will have
hair black as the pirates flag
skin as cold white as its sails
with warm red coral blush
ice blue eyes that percive
the depths of the ocean
and all of lifes seriousness

Will our child be like we were
and understand science and math
reading the newpapers
like water charts
in second grade
a global success

Unless we have
a child full of
sunshine
and that would be
perfect also

Will we have a girl
her long black hair
rusteling in the wind
like her mother in her chilhood
enjoying being out in the storm
watching where the lighting strikes

Will we have a boy
with curly black ringlets
picking up seashells
knowing enough alchemy
to ask the shells themselves
where they have been
throwing them back in
with dreams to follow them
