Perennial
October 30, 2015
The backs of her hands wrinkle
with the wear of time
Dandelion feathers of a baby girl
thrive on in her mind
Skipping, sneering, sparkling,
her daughter tauntingly chimes
“One day, mother,
maybe one day.”
She gleams, prances, sashays away
Holding on to her light --
leaving nothing behind.
