Time For Tea

"Hi! " said the Ancestors knocking on my door. They were late by a couple of thousand years or more/ "We're no one that you know we're from the long long ago! " They spoke in a voice made of silence. "We made you up (so to speak) and we just thought we would come & see you for ourselves! " One had a singing bird trapped in her chest (just like my mother) an other had an exploding dandelion heart (just like the Da) . Some were pure myth through & true. Some untouched by time. They were made up of all the bits & pieces of the "me" recognised as "I" So this is how I had come to be "Sit down! " I said. "I'll put on the tea."
