and mama say, if you gonna open you mouth
tell the truth, girl, or hush.

Every stone a song, a rage, a crack in the heart that never quite healed … Something tells me you have plenty more in your creel. (Good for us.) I too know about throwing stuff at windows … personally, it’s good luck if the window opens, better fate if it doesn’t … Brendan
I love the voice in this one, and the sense of longing that accompanied each little stone you threw.
smiles….hope she pops that head out the window…but only after the last stone has flown…cute about what mama said…smiles.
haha really fun piece, those stones are just sooo tempting
patt hatt, i want you to see my goldfish pond. you can see the goldfish better if you put your face down in the water. yes, like that! now, keep your face underwater or you’ll scare the goldfish. stay there no matter how much you want to come up for air. finally, you’ll just kind of go to sleep! haha.
One of these days you’re going to put someone’s eye out. I know it’s harder with a stone, but you can do it if you aim properly.
I like the voice of this one…nice ..there were so many stones…and I missed you so much 🙂
love it was told from the child perspective …thank you x

I like this. Simple and just adorable in a way. 🙂
The emotional depth to this piece is unmistakable. I could feel it to my bones.
I bet Mama done the same back in the day.
