To Little Noor,


from 'For Rita's Daughter, Just Born' by Eunice De Souza

Lumious new leaf
May the sun rise gently
on your unfurling

in the courtyard always linger
the smell of earth after rain

the stone of these steps
stay cool and old

gods in the niches
old brass on the wall

never the shrill cry of kites
