mae

simple smile

across a full-moon face

mongoloid eyes

cackle laugh

woke me with a tickle

intristic appliance

In the musty, dusty fredericktown house

fading away

like an antique silk rose

then gone.

gentle naïve turtle-aunt

slow witted

slow tongued

blessed with simplicity

we were blessed with more than we knew

we walked together briefly

your touch remains

i loved you.
