Friday Flash 55 — on my mother's birthday

W H Terrace by Willem Haenraets
W H Terrace by Willem Haenraets


I would take her there
to sip or sup, to celebrate
a sumptuous meal with
laughter.
Always laughter.

She would be bright and saucy,
her effervescence welcoming
strangers to join us
(my reason for a larger table).

The terracotta terrace would reflect
a happy birthday song, then
toasts in her honor and
laughter.
Always laughter.


My post in exactly 55 words written for Friday Flash 55.

My mother was born on this day long ago. What I miss most is laughing with her.
