Ba Ba

a poem from a prompt in Donna Hilbert’s class

Ba Ba

 

Blue and yellow comfort

plaid remnant

soft and fleecy

I stitched light blue binding

along salvaged edges

 

you dragged it around

slept, wrapped in it

your first words

Ba Ba

 

Your beloved Ba Ba

folded in quarters

stored in a lidded box

on the closet shelf

 

adult now

you visit

take down the box

hands caress

eyes all teary
