Eighteen months since Ahava was here
in our apartment no visitors since COVID
she’s remembered where her toys were
Ahava brought her stuffed horse
named Spirit to be able to see where her
grandparents live she explained everything
to Spirit this is where our cozy bed is
with Peppa Pig sheets and here’s where grandma
keeps our salami and this is the couch
where we will watch MONSTER HOUSE
and then if we’re still awake,
SPONGE BOB GOES TO THE MOON.
I like keeping up with the day to day.
