Like the Porch of the Maidens – v2

The row of their toothbrushes
the sisters, individually,
their heads, princesses,
like the Porch of the Maidens
that image of their marvel,
seen so long ago

Standing in the bathroom
there on the sink edge, stoic
so like their silent strong sisters
each standing gracefully
serene witnesses
ever so purposefully.

Like the Porch of the Maidens
seeing this morning a flash of an
image from my Humanities class
of 1976-1977 in my mind’s eye
taking me back more than 30 years ago
seeing the electric toothbrushes
of the girls this morning
in the bathroom -
The Porch of the Maidens
