Wila

I can see your lanky figure

Half running, half stomping

Shoulders stiff

Eyes darting from left to right

--

I can hear your voice

Can hear you tell stories not from this world

Can see myself squirm from your shrieks

Can see me beam with pride while you sing

--

You dwell in your fantasies (and books and loves!)

You're a klutz

But you have real gumption

You're weird, but I love you

For Ruwila's birthday (March 4, 1991)
