Full and Free by Maggie Devers

Full and Free Maggie Devers Spread a blanket on the grassUnder the eucalyptusLie down and feel the relief.Sit in the swingLet your hair dance in windHear the swish of your fuchsia parachute pantsAs your legs pump up and downUp and down.The squirrel tries to steal your snack,Moves the bag off the blanket And freezes mid action when she realizes she’s been caught,She flees,You throw her some bitesWe all deserve to feel full and free.More from Maggie Devers ↓Read my debut poetry book, For My DaughterFollow me on Instagram for more poetry @rembrandts.cure
