let's do one, two, three, four, five.

from then till now, it goes as so.
i giggled and called my boys fowl names.
they laughed and grabbed my wrists.
tussled me and threatened to throw me in.
i screeched in the 60 degree air.
it was 10:47pm from the big red glow on main.
we went in like one, two, three, four, five.
the water soothed me. we goofed and splashed.
at 1:15am i was slipping myself into bed.
alarm buzz at 9:00am. today's it gets done.

dug a small rectangle hole in the dirt.
kathy said dirt of nd was unlike anywhere else.
dg said the soil looked sandy.
i thought, soil sounds like soul sometimes.
dad grunted with shovel movements.
kevin said really good words.
mom muttered how sweet.
i missed my brother and sister.
we unearthed ellen. put her beside papa.
sealed the handmade coffin, settled the dirt again.
all was well. i felt adeline smile.
