A Hand Full Of Toys/ Featuring Dairv Dubbleyew

My sincerest gratitude to Nick R. Davies for his amazing skills as a writer and novelist.

We left late in the night with all the other kids from the street.  It felt exciting and strange. Strange because Mama was scared and Tato wasn't with us. Mama said he needed to stay to make us safe like all the other fathers. She kept holding me into her and rubbing my back. The bus was cold and noisy, some of the children crying, some singing and shouting. We left Brovary in the pitch dark and once the bus quietened a little I looked out of the window for cars and lights,  but there were few. I counted bridges. I remember five but I was sleepy and couldn't be sure. Our journey seemed to last forever. Each time we stopped I would ask Mama whether we were close,  but I don't think she knew. She was checking her phone a lot, but I think Tato must have been busy. I talked to my doll when Mama wouldn't talk to me anymore.

We arrived in Lublin in the early morning.  It was snowing and there was a big crowd of people.  They gave us food and blankets. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I had a hot chocolate and cake before we were taken to a hotel.

When I heard Mama on the phone and then crying, I was frightened. She went to cry on her own in the bathroom and I was sad I couldn't help. I left the hotel and walked for miles. I found a bridge. There were only four more to find before I could get back to Tato. I started calling for him. Over and over and over..with each step into the dark cold night.

When Mama and her friends found me, I was still calling for Tato.  I told Mama there were only four more bridges. No dear, she said, crying and shaking..there were many more you didn't see..there are too many bridges to see Tato. Too many bridges now and for a long time.

I Can't Wait Till I see You Again

a winters chill-cannot compare-to the blizzard of cold in your eyes-in the storm there came an epiphany-that you'll never be satisfied-
all the fine men and all the white horses-could never reach you inside-you turned to me cause you knew I was stable-you left a terrible need in my life
we were strong-like an old English story-about the men who gave up their lives-
the true and the brave-they went down in glory-when they saw the blizzard of cold in your eyes
(Bridge)
that lonely road that we both traveled-then one day we lost our way-
the night and the cold slowly unraveled-when I saw the blizzard of cold in your eyes

I can eat a handful- of sunflower seeds-pull into a rest stop-buy gasoline-leave the car running-make sure my windshield is clean-
When my eyes get heavy-and I fall off to sleep-my attention is still on you and me-I can travel the world-but I still miss my life with you-
Once I knew to swallow my tears-from the haunting relations-and dozens of beers-leaving no trace-of my life with you-
Driving myself-around some back wood roads-a mindful of memories-are weighing down my load-still feel like I'm living my life with you-still living my life with you-
