Oil stained, buttoned, except for the top two, the rumpled pink housecoat fit like an old glove in love with bones while she cooked up her signature again, just for me; potato pancakes.

"Ju wan som' Pepsi Cola wit dhat?"

And I didn't have to answer; her cup runneth over.

They call EB kids “Butterfly Children”

(delicate skin, delicate wings).

But you, my daughter,

are a monarch,

flying great distances

to follow your path—

each, any chosen path—

with absolute purpose.

Monarchs are loved and known

for their beauty, true, but

moreso because we know

how far they will fly,

and if we have wisdom enough,

self-possession enough in the moment,

we know our privilege in sharing

their brief stay nearby.

Challenge

Paint me a picture of someone you’ve loved.

Describe someone you have loved using a metaphor or a similar and write it in 3 sentences

Turris Inviolata...

Tower reaching hallowed sky

gleaming purest white,

polished gold and ivory

trimmed with moonlight.

Pools of pearled glass

lay at rooted feet,

and stairs of diamond

spiral up to suite.

Fire in the hearth,

a chair for her guest

her heart, inviolate home,

for weary souls, as I, to rest.

Challenge
