Song
Song
Behind him, across vast distances of
space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But
perhaps it was only an echo. - Lois Lowry
Ino raised the ghost fish
stitchery
up to the sky.
An
offering to Aphrodite.
Little
Tina carried the ghost fish to her
plastic
swimming pool. She waved
as he
arose like vapor. She clapped
and
sang:
fly
to the sky
fly
to the sky
friendly
fish
fly
to the sky
way
up high
I
will make a wish
Sarah
did not look up to see the ghost
fish
leaving the atmosphere. She asked
Tina
what she wished for? My sister
to come back home.
I am close to finding the rope and
giving
mom the apple she lost when she became
a water sign.
