She counts her fingers
Whispering each syllable
Words and breath alight
I delight in their journey
Reaching with wrinkled-eye smiles
fingers
Small Burdens
… little bits of what I carry in my heart
She counts her fingers
Whispering each syllable
Words and breath alight
I delight in their journey
Reaching with wrinkled-eye smiles
Small Burdens 
”wrinkled-eye smiles” are the best!
