Emmit Runs
Humid summer day
but you pull on your socks
one scrunched low and one pulled to knee
Dig and hunt
refusing to leave until
the shoes on fire are found
Turn in circles
bouncing on heels
can't wait to escape
Open the door
rush out into the sun
glance back, then run
Run with abandon
with a freedom
of being uniquely you
Remember this time
of being free
and loving you
