Old friends


I think my father brought me these dolls 
 After one of his long business trips; 
I couldn’t have been more than 7 or 8. 
And yet somehow I’ve kept them all these years, 
Allowing them to follow me from house to house, 
From move to move… I’m not sure how or why 
They ended up in this windowsill, 
But I get the feeling they approve 
 Of this, our most recent move, 
And are enjoying our renewed closeness 
To the natural world.
