My word! My little word! What a wonder. Every sound—every syllable of her wounded She lets fall all her letters Mound of mournful All her kisses stolen Not a one left. Not a one. Like a Jonah, she Unrepentant mutterings Swallowed in a wail Parent with her back turned Arms folded Foot tapping Eyes averted NO>>>>> Mere moments later Moist lashes flutterless on twin pink moons Her breath a gaspy little breeze Mother hands pluck up the pieces Reconstruct them in strong arms One kiss on an eyelid One on a cheek One lands on an earlobe, One on a brow, one on a chin… Spilling from relenting lips Oh, my word! My little word! I give them all back Every one.

I think that we all own a box full of words and some words were just made for us. There is such freedom in using words such as "yes" or "no" and to become fully aware of their power is the work of a lifetime! Those "moist lashes" and "twin pink moons" make me think that you have another word in mind as you write: it begins with a capital "L". (Sorry for being away for so long, sis!)

... Now if all the world would sing the song of wounded Little Word, what a place of kisses this would be - a world of relenting restitution and restoration instead of reproach. What a picture!... If only such hands still rocked the cradle and ruled the world, eh?! :)) A loving and personal moment of nurturing intimacy that delights us all. I can still recall that first joy of words to bind (and break!) mother-child bonds. Beautifully rendered for us here, Charlie. xx

sounds like a certain little Z bug I know... who...um...maybe had a yellow marker in her hand and answered the phone when I called? hee, hee...

But a delectable little wonder word that hugable girl is!

And... what a charmer too! For with only four little words she wrapped her cousin around her finger and all of us joined in!

A child's take on punishment and redemption. Very good. Caught my attention.
