1965

I remember you,
Mommy,

Singing warm
in the winter night.

Me,
snuggling, sleepy-eyed,
close as I could to you.

Driving with Daddy
in a red Ford pick up.

Always to or away from
the Crippled Kids' Hospital;


Another week's silence.

But then you'd always sing to me.

Beckoning my voice
to join yours in song.

Sweet song.
