A poem about childhood by David Tombale: My Childhood

My Childhood expresses a yearning for my younger self and a past that seems so much more beautiful to me now that I’m grown.

My childhood


My childhood shimmers like a
single penny in the filth of mud
and longing, the sight of smooth
soft legs and pink rose lips.

My childhood sits upon my mind
rocking its legs, back and forth,
back and forth in the cool white
waters.
