profound sorrow of a child

the child opens her hand

offers the dandelion

 

the child opens her hand

offers her scribbles

 

the child opens her hand

offers her stuffed toy

 

the child opens her hand

offers a whisper

 

the child opens her hand

offers her hand

 

NO RESPONSE

the child droops her head

in all her beauty

sadness abounds
