cooling raindrop
‘gainst my brow–
not a cloud in the sky
on wood’s peaks
the moon,
the candle blaze…
morning mist gemmed
the survival snare
a night spider’s art
sky thundering
sisters huddling by boulder
hold each other’s hand
yes, hands tell all…
–
father’s massive rough hand
holding tiny hand–
letting go blue balloon
