Holiday Weather


from the ABC set Lacework

Spring thunder amplifies
in rebound and echoes,
finds its way home to me.

Each child, expects
maternal devotion,
selective deafness
of emotion;
then
with a nudge,
a giggled whisper,
their storm passes.

I stand drenched
in their cloudburst,
steaming,
in their smiles.
