Hush, Now
The voice says hush,
hush now.
And her purple beads
clack together
awakening he
with the sharp needles on his head.
He asks her if she said something.
But she shakes her head, her face confused
black eyes smiling
but mouth curved like an arch.
Her heart beats a little faster
worried now.
What is this?
This voice?
But the man smiles
and points to a necklace of pearls and
one
glowing bead
shaped like a '9'
and they both knew
that familiar voice
hush, now.
Her hair beads swung like they were alive
and happy
to greet the voice.
Hello Mia.
