HIDE AND GO SEEK
HIDE AND GO SEEK
"You know...
Granny's dead?"
"Yes. . ?"
"How long is she gong to be
dead for?"
"Well. . ?"
I think she
senses I
don't know
the answers.
She walks away
holding her dolly by the hand.
"It's just...Dolly misses her."
She throws the words
casually over her shoulder
then steps away into
a doorway
filled with the morning's
sunlight.
Granny smiles
from her photograph
trapped behind
the glass.
"...99...100. . !"
floats on the summer air.
My daughter's voice
sing-songing
"Here I come..."
( the hide and seek of )
"...ready or not. . . "
(life).
