the gentleness
in the voice
over the iPhone screen
sounds like
the wave of the beach
just because
the waves of the reticence beach
played nostalgic songs
I fell in love with
his shadow
the little chubby hand
let go of my hand
scratched and scared
strong and snug enough
to hold the hand of someone
my daughter started playing Monday Blues
at the morning table
as it gets louder,
my lips started humming
the song of emerald green waves
