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.

watching as they see things for the first time that you take for granted is one of the beautiful things that having little ones in your life allows you. I wonder when that wonder runs dry...usually it would seem when we think we know everything.
