COURT

Sadly, the only thing that made him feel WHOLE was to have a large audience in his ORBIT, like a king holding COURT.

Georg’ann

Creamy skin, pierced brow, ruby lips, dark hair, sparkling eyes.
A flowered silky SCARF from a bygone era,
over her hair, tied under her chin.
Baggie light jeans, a jean jacket, and clunky boots.
18 years old, effortlessly hip.
She’s chic, she’s unique.

We walk a long distance, laughing,
taking in new pathways.
Scratching pigs, petting horses, taking selfies.
Later she does the CHORE of chopping
all the root veggies for roasting.
A sous chef extraordinaire.

After dinner she holds COURT,
engaging everyone in a game of wordplay.
No easy feat to take the lead,
in this boisterous family,
so rare she has the chance
to shine in a room filled with celestial beings.
Justine, this season my North Star,
brightest of them all.
