Overhead
from my basement bed
I hear the full spectrum of
adult/child/infant voices,
punctuated by footfalls
the quick tripping steps of childhood
the heavier, steadier steps of parents
the next generation of my family,
overhead.

That is a great line:
“the next generation of my family,
overhead.”
I like the way you move from listing observations and identifying sounds to moving into a sweeping awareness of generational embrace—a recognition which you held in those moments.
Really beautiful Lisa. Thank you.
I agree with Ann–a beautiful moment
