FRAMING THY FEARFUL SYMMETRY
It's the little things remain
shadows on your skin
memory preserves it
makes it more precious
despite its
insignificance.
The ephemeral
made permanent.
You all
sunlight and shadow
marking you a tiger
a stripey 5 year old.
"Rrrrr!" you roar
burning bright.
I throw my little tiger
up in the air
catch her years
later.
The sunlight now
in teacher mode
displays an
equilateral triangle
made of
pure light.
Hear her voice of then
still telling me now
"Look...an equatorial triangle!"
And so for ever
it is.
The angle I see her from
changes
the years come and go
and the equatorial triangle
still burns brightly
you my little girl tiger
twisting the sinews
of my heart.
