Keepers: Selected Inspirational Poetry by Orna Ross

* * *

To me they were things to twirl

atop my four-year-old

pointy finger, till they flew.

Or to array my arms,

making of me a Sheba

or a Cleopatra, queen of places

with names like Abyssinia

or Timbucktoo.

Their circle of air was a space,

pregnant with everything.

* * *

And the black board

where you were supposed

to chalk the tally

was where, up on a barstool,

I liked to practice writing:

A. And B. And C.

* * *

It was there, one day,

As dust danced round

a nearby beam of sunlight,

that I was first caught

by the moment I now think

will hold me rapt through

all eternity.
