You pick up toys br here & there br br & a piece of poo br (mummified now) br br from the baby’s br nappy br br when she crawled br crap ‘n’ all behind the couch. br br This, obviously br a bit we missed. br br I watching you br bend & bend again br br picking up all the little things br of being human br br aTigger…a tiger br a Pooh…a poo. br br Your smiling face br covered & uncovered br br by a falling curtain br of hair. br br Your hair falling br in a black wave of applause. br br Your appearing br & disappearing br br smile br br the most beautiful thing of all br in all my world. br br It sneaks br almost unnoticed br br into my mind br br curls up br & goes asleep br br where I, all these br years later br br discover br it br br remember br it br br hold it br in my hand br br & weep.
