Celebration
Of blue rocks,
salamanders.
The way the sky becomes yellow
at dusk.
Laughter filling absolute space.
The sound of the first voices
I ever heard.
Stories over tea,
and my father’s eyes looking into mine.
The incredible knowledge of childhood,
and falling,
crazy in love,
again and again.
The book The House of the World has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and is now available on Amazon.
