Someone is washing my feet
Clipping my nails
Head down, steady in her work
Outside, a couple sit together as one
Backs to the sun
Remembering the life they left behind
Shoulder to shoulder
In sari and ski hat
Carrying their culture together
Sunday, still life
From here to there
From there to here
All of us held
For one silent moment in time
(inspired by a story told by Cathy G.)
