Her tiny fingers trace shapes in my palm,
little maps to lost places,
where I, still, could believe in small gods
then she stops,
looks up,
points a finger between my eyes and breathes out,
“Here.”

Sometimes a brevity of words leaves such a strong impression – I really enjoyed this poem – thank you!
Agreed. Sometimes we have to get out of the way and let simple clarity do the work!
as Kerouac said, ‘one day I will find the right words, and they will be simple…’ this is magnificent Simon.
Thanks Graham. I trust that Varuna is treating you well.
sweet.
