Hour 4

9/2/2023

 

“What Makes Us?…”

 

“Momma!”

“Look!”

pretty, pretty… “pretty…”

And the lil fingers grasp and pull,

grasp and pull…

legs RUN to other visions

of pretty, pretty…

lil fingers, stained with green,

stained with smiles

stained with pretty, pretties…

lil hands complete,

lil mind FULL

run, run, RUN!

“Mommy!”

“MOMMY!  HERE!!”

Reach, open her fingers.  Place the ‘treasure’!

Beam so hard, so clear.

Move away – MORE treasures to give …share!…

Pause …stare…

…mommy threw them in the trash…

…mommy threw them away…

…OH…oh…

 

So many, many “echoes”

behind our eyes…
