By Poxy

There you stand
 once again-
 In that moment
 
 The past;
 Quiet, murmuring...
 She brings you backward
 A season of sad all her own
You see her there
through the window
eyes so green
they could cut an emerald
Her body/
small and fragile
A little girl
with tiny arms
in a stiff dress
 An enigma destroyed
 Her heart
 
 Sundays dressed
 In a mothers purse
Filled with prescriptions
Treasured dolls-
whose eyes rolled across
the kitchen table
and a beloved father
who remained silent.
