Liquid sunshine falls outside, a rainshower
in mid-day with the sun still shining bright

upon the rock.  She takes Akyem out
to the shore, swings him around through the light

that sweeps over his body in soft waves
and calls him beautiful when he laughs,

bright-eyed, wide-mouthed.  "Just like he--you got
your daddy's smile."
