white
square
cotton
care
boogie mitt
pad in shoe
ghost on sucker
friend of flu
dries the tears
dabs boo-boos
holds old gum
bless ah-choos
tiny spills
dirty finger swipes
bloody noses
make-shift diaper wipes
lose a tooth
drop a cup
save that for later
wrap it up
watch sad movies
loss and pain
clutch in fist
blot this stain
stuffed in pocket
packed in purse
timely share
paper nurse
mascara runs
snot on face
void in absence
can’t be replaced
on the table
next to chairs
neatly boxed
mounds everywhere
