small seedlings

i suddenly remember
i want to ask her,
deep down i already know
and upfront, i don't have to hear
her answer won't shock me
or be surprising what is it really
that interests me
in these incomprehensible
animal-like, wild life
characters you sketch out
for us, built out of these stories
real life, it's the symbolic that makes us
and you, subtly, recreated this
into pandas, and tigers, and bears
oh my! what talent you have
to have nurtured this, still
why? why write it down
read me the story
from where it all began
creatures estranged
in a word, goodbye
