Words and the world passing by; how it sings to me; how I clamour back.
NaPoWriMo Day 12: Strawberry Water
Strawberry agua,
She says,
So proud to have learnt
That snippet of Spanish
Grinning at me, at the host,
At the big glass dispenser
Packed with glossy red fruit
Chilled water
Little paper cups
Take as much as you want.
Sí, agua de fresa
I agree
Not correcting
Praising
Expanding.
Strawberry agua
She insists
And if everyone knows what she means,
Or if one person does
Or none, but she’s happy…
Why not?
