Small Stones: The Happening


Photo by Linda G Hatton


Mother and son
seeking island getaway,
enter lobby to find
marbled eyes of daughter,
attempting family-free
lunch date, asking with black,
warped winks, did you
really just walk in here?
Instead of hurried departure, we
wave to the backs of her
pack, and request opposable
seating, winding up
with a lunch-date
photo
of sliced limes flaunting
itself
at our glasses
of plain
water
