Little child and I together
for the afternoon
with an age difference of about sixty years and we got along just fine
with the bag of folktales
artfully rendered books about nature, poetry, faith, mystery and fun
With the wind howling and tearing
down
the fence and vines outside and the sky
dark with power
Together
we sat together
a two year old and another much older and met
together
in the place of books
A friendly and quiet place
with gentle words and warm comfort
finding things
together
An Embarrassment of Freedom
