Two White Shirts.

How much do you deserve the gift:
The one which made you;
The jolt and twist
that turned inside you
Into you and much more beyond you?

Children fearless of its texture
Smear there white floors
One permanent, the other
Slipping atop the first.
The smell neglected but not shy

Confident the nail grow in, even,
Shadings of the sun.
Scratching the earth collecting it
Homeward to keep.
