7/3/2007 1:14:38 PM The Best Nap Ever by Cate Brown
We stumbled out of the bus,
weary and wrinkled like wrapping paper
in the hands of a 5 year old.
Travel had taken it´s toll.
Our bags were stacked high on tarpulin.
Each on bulging with memories of home.
The oblique shapes nestled together
under our family´s laundry lines
whispering tales of two cultures as one.
We staggered about the courtyard,
lost, like newborn lambs.
As if our leges were but 2 years old
we collapsed on hard concrete.
And laying down on our sleeping pads,
like nestling in sunny grass,
we drifted off to sleep in Lima.
It was the best nap ever.
