A FEW MINUTES MORE

Published on 14 November 2023 at 19:59

I remember summer evenings,

just the three of us

lying in the grass watching

day turn to night, watching

the stars arrive. We didn’t

have a blanket nor a care.

I don’t remember the conversation.

Perhaps there was none. Maybe

we talked of stars and constellations, or

got up and caught fireflies. I remember

Dad calling to us to come inside.

We would plead for a few minutes more as if

this night would never come again.
