Rubber Ducky Bright
~ Haiku string
Rubber ducky bright
Hold little baby so tight
So tiny and light
~
Hear the hymns sung sweet
And the traffic on the street
Sight of yawn, a treat
~
The day is lovely
Your smile is like honey
Crinkly face, funny
~
Wonder in your face
Your heart thinks it’s all a race
Your life, full of grace
~
I don’t blame you much
You crave attention and touch
Play pen is a crutch
~
See how the moss sleeps
Lulling your kind eyes to keep
Restful joys you reap
~
Swaying dopamine
Rocking chair starts to recline
Childlike lifeline

from death into life
Young Aldin of Wiloh had never contemplated death. It was almost strange — so many around him had the tendency to obsess over it, to clamor and claw almost desperately at their own perceptions of the end to know death as much as they could: when it would come, why it would come, where it would take them when it did.
