Your Disappearing Smile

You pick up toys here & there & a piece of poo (mummified now) from the baby’s nappy when she crawled crap ‘n’ all behind the couch. This, obviously a bit we missed. I watching you bend & bend again picking up all the little things of being human aTigger…a tiger a Pooh…a poo. Your smiling face covered & uncovered by a falling curtain of hair. Your hair falling in a black wave of applause. Your appearing & disappearing smile the most beautiful thing of all in all my world. It sneaks almost unnoticed into my mind curls up & goes asleep where I, all these years later discover it remember it hold it in my hand & weep.
