I slid across my kitchen floor yesterday
wooden ice
sock skates
Mental Ice Capades couture
sparkling red
curling tulle at the hemline
I grinned
then did it again
I sang while gliding
despite missing a few notes
The windows were open
my voice quite loud
In this moment
she did not worry
My mother-in-law giggled
a candle flame
burning brightly
Easy laughter
released from a breast pocket
was having some fun sketching while on hall duty yesterday
apparently I’m on an Erté kick now – he really was quite fabulous!

Whether ’tis true or not, this is a nice, sweet moment, AM — a poignant moment. I have good feelings about your m-i-law’s new change, that it will be good not only for her but for you all. The Erte (where’s my accent mark)-inspired drawing is exquisite. (ds)

And you are fabulous, too! When Mom waxed the kitchen floors (linoleum, not wood) we would shine them with sock “ice skates”. A lovely memory. – Fawn
