LIKE A KIDS BOOK

toy tears like shiny buttons like from a kids coat
fall 
with honest magic from a clean heart
like from a kids book
where
the soft round kitty was lost like an orphan
was
trapped and hid and missing in the weather 
was
rescued by a boy cat to sit by the cat flap
still like peace and silent like fluff
and
where
the bus kids hands are dry with worry like pumice 
like the base of glazed clay
but heal by friday like promised
with
love
and
ointment
and play 
with varnished wood toys like adventure at tea time
and
where
everyone lays toilet pellets like rose balls 
like soft shiny marbles
that
plop quietly and sanitary like a chucked pebble
making
rings like orbits on a still summer pond
and
toy tears like loose buttons
fall like baby gasps
at
a
missed goodbye like an accident nothing
thats a real something
like
in
a
kids
book
