At our Creative Writing Group this morning we were looking at emotions and how to write them. Today’s one was Joy.Out of work clothes, hardly recognisablehe walks across the square, two kids in tow.One in a chair, pushed in fronta balloon flying Pooh-like from the back.“For a moment, please, I need to go pee”he rushes off, leaving me with unrequested responsibility.“Heads up Jamie” seems to be the keythe balloon the ploy to unlock lost eyesinto a moment of joy.Goodbyes are saidI stroke his cheekhis eyes release a smilethat leaves me weak.© Sheila Ash, 20thJune 2016ashramblings
