Summer’s exploration
We pried one small silver
square
from the top of that box
we found in a field.
We used my Dad's screwdriver,
old and rusted as it was.
It left scratches on the shiny surface
marking it forever
as broken into.
"Someone was here"
it seemed to say.
Inside, was nothing but dirt
and time
shadows of one more summer
before we found ourselves
something better,
soft hands
rounded hips
sweet breath on breath.
