NaPoWriMo 27: Me

Day 27:  An ekphrastic poem: From a Photo

There's a picture of me in a blue iro, buba and gele as a toddler. In lieu of that, this:

Me

Tiny person.

Looks just like 

her father.

her mother.

Walks like him

laughs like her

Wrapped in 

blue like a gift

Head wrap

Body wrap?

Is that a skirt or a 

long tubing?

Tiny person 

holds the hope

of the future

in her eyes

even now as

I hold her in 

my memories.
