Me, in you

My niece on
Christmas day 2010
at a quiet park
where I used to go
as a little girl,
says,
nose to nose
"Akku, I see myself
in your eyes.

This is magic"
I, The Elder
now that I am
officially in the frontline

and the little one, the future,
making memories together

Neither knew when
we would meet again

and I don't think we cared
that crisp afternoon
