A photo of the poetry journal The Rialto

Her Family and Mine

We were on an endless hike upward
in the August countryside,
slogging toward a promised moment

when the pine dark would clear
unveiling rolling postcard hills
and it would all be worth it.

I could hear my friend behind me
in our single-file crooked line,
her breathing labored. Mine was silent.

And it made me feel good
about myself. Her struggling.
I must have done more in the past

to deserve my present ease: worked harder
to be in better shape, more capable
of the climb. We plodded on for some time,

then I glanced back and saw her
five-year-old on her shoulders.

Answering Her Question

My sister taught me a parenting trick
for when kids ask a difficult question
like “Is Santa Claus real?” or “What is sex?”
Simply ask, in earnest, “What do you think?”
and listen. At the least, it buys you time.
My daughter, three, in the car one evening,
is silent. Then asks, “Mama, will I die?”
I just drive. Try to keep the car tethered
to the earth. Somehow the trick surfaces
within me and I ask, “What do you think?”
In the rearview mirror I see her smile
looking out at the purple sky. She says
“I think I will never die.” I tell her
“That’s what I think, too.” And I do, I do.

Here's a wonderful poem by @poetalicewhite.bsky.social

14 lines, so just about to tip over from short poem to long, but I hope it counts.

A poem by the poet Alice White

Answering Her Question

About driving with her young daughter who is asking difficult questions, like "will I die?". And about listening to what the questioner thinks.
