today the little girl
as i see her has grown taller
her papa has always scolded
mama even for those little lapses
her mama is silent and bows
her head to this patriarchal thing
the little girl is confused
she is a girl after all and she loves
them both. today her bangs are not
straight, her eyes sharp, her sneakers
noisy on the floor, and she tells her
mommy i love you and looks at daddy
too and says i love you daddy then
she sits on the floor covering her
face with her two hands. we are curious
if her tears are pearls.
