Marie

Sitting cross legged on the bed
Were you sick that day?
I don't remember
Sitting in your room
Excitement infectious
You told the story
Hands waving in the wind
Painting the scene
Showing the story
Accenting words
Legs tingling
Falling asleep from the sitting
But sitting still
Still
Held captive by the words
The chronological telling of events
Where you sick that day?
I don't remember
