Layered Fragments, Becoming Whole

Pieces of a whole

Iridescent rainbow moonstones bathing in the sun,
a stream of bubbles—
some small like cat eye marbles,
others medium, round like spongey sweets soaked in rose syrup,
and still large ones the size of heavy mooncakes with bright orange yolks
float into the shining summer sky
from a gun…
a bubble making gun
given by a grandmother with love.

Your curls spring forward at the nape of your neck from the prickly heat,
eyes clear with unfiltered joy,
lips almost hooking to the sides of your ears—a good day.
"Mommy look"
"I see them Baby"
He eats the whimsy like salty chips from a bowl,
boy wonder.

My heart so full it bursts like shooting stars—
falling
falling
and falling.
All of me, all of you, all himself
catching sunlight
with a light breeze as music
for dancing bubbles.

The world will never be ready
for your part in the cosmos.
