MIMI


MIMI

(aged 2 ½ years)


Wrapped in the warm fragrance

of the everyday

she moves mountains –



only to stumble

on the commonplace.



Complacency

so easily destroyed.



I try to capture it

with words, they writhe

relentlessly. She laughs



allows the world

to write

its affirmation.



Malcolm Evison
