Freckles

I have a freckle on each big toe.
I'd almost forgotten they were there.
But this morning, I pulled off my green argyle socks to check.
Yes, still there.

Praise the Lord for my freckles.
There are many.
They pop out in the sun like a chocolate Milky Way in the sky.
They wage a coupe upon my face.

But in the winter when all goes white
Some freckles hibernate.
But those two freckles on my big toes, the ones I forgot,
They are still there.
