I wait for her eyes to open
Patience while she dreams
I will hear about it all the causes of the twitches.
It’s the best of times
Who was there… Who said what…
“The purple berries were sweet, Dad. I taste in my dreams, you know. A boy was telling me which way to go, I think it was Jolani. I said nothing back, and you know what that means… I am not going to do that.”
