Six O’Clock News

by Veneta Masson

The events themselves

I can’t remember,

only the scent of lilac on taffeta,

her warm breath

and the rise and fall of my head

on her bosom.

Nestled next to Grandma

for the replay of each day

I learned that, no matter

what happened in the world,

there was refuge

and underneath,

the everlasting arms.
