On the packed bus I sit next to a young girl with blue petals of a blossoming rose on her hair
now with her little hands she pours the transparent liquid of life into her pink plastic cup gazing out at the winter tree wondering when spring will bring leaves
She watches me scribble this unaware of my peripheral vision observing enviously the delicacy of this child
Eagerly she produces a precious tin can from her school bag “Do you want some?” Surprised by the gesture, I ask, “What is it?” “Candy,” she says, only peeling away the silver packaging to reveal the sweet purple pellets that are now dissolving in my mouth
–– I twist my sugary tongue to mouth the most sincere “Thank you,” only to see her resume gazing out the window mesmerized by the frenzied fly swimming against the pink window light
