16.5.14







































early morning light 
i remember how we used these weeds to catch butterflies
in the fields next to our houses
to keep in jars and look after them as pets
(ladybirds too, in matchboxes with holes)
children can be cruel without meaning to



"i think sleepy is my favourite 'doudou', mamma"
thank you, dear alessandra, 'she' (didn't you know?) really helps us 
through the night
