Those unheard..

Mary listens stories
With a reliable wariness...
Everyone  jealous of....

While listening...
Her glossy forehead
Brightens...
Her eyes twinkle
Blue..
Her body droops
A little....
And ears
Grow  sharp...

Tossing in
Grandpa 's blanket
She plunged herself
Into his tenacious stories
So treasured!

Wept on the
Plight of afflicted Jesus....
She ecstacised
At his resurrection..

Roamed with Alice
In wonderland...
She dreamt of
World another
So marvellous!

Grandpa with
A smile so benevolent
Pardoned her queries
With a curious endurance....

ONCE
the story breaked off...
HIs canorous sound
ceased forever
and....
Mary held her ears closed
To silence constant!..
