a moment in Malka’s memory

        chicken pox
        lunch pails
      tiny blue table
            quietly
            eyes smile

        colours dance
        under feet
      tiny blue chairs
            silently
            they rest

         Mother’s love
         “Be Good”
      two tiny boys
             need
             ears listen

        Malka’s laugh
        seeing them
      two small hearts
             quicken
             life hears

        tiny boys two
        Grown Men
      Mother and Malka
             remember
             they love
