Her Little Hands Drinking – v3


Coming into the front yard
at the sound of a tiny voice
thinking she had seen our cats
in the window of the house

But it was her tiny fingers
running to the flowering plants
her little hands drinking the smells
waving toward herself
drinking in the morning
bringing the scents to her face

Smiling and cooing
giggling as she ran from plant to plant
the magic word of “pick”,
a yellow iris for her mother
