These Feet

These feet,

straight out of the bath,

sitting on the couch,

relaxed while reading a book aloud,

concentrating on every single word, with a tiny furrow in his forehead,

and little brother looking on

These feet, bottoms up,

lounging on the couch on his stomach , as close to big brother as he can get,

listening to him read,

making eyes at me , his grandmother,

Hanging on his older brother’s every word.
