I had no black
so i paint the hair yellow
self portrait
my granddaughter's masterpiece
and her candid narrative

a plate of french fries
why leave the excess ketchup
food of the Gods surely
the taste of only ketchup
I breath again innocence

flower petals float
in a bowl of water
pre covid days
this mild infusing of
fragrance and a child's joy

Earlier this year, Chrissi Villa and myself, we did a book swap. I sent her a signed copy of my book 'The Little Seed And His Brother' for her goddaughter. She sent me a signed copy of her book 'Mud Spots and Candy Sprinkles' for my granddaughter.
My granddaughter Zuri, never settles for just one reading of 'Mud Spots and Candy Sprinkles'
