You said “Give me the feets!” and then
hoisted us aloft
sure and steady hands
gripping small feet
our faces echoing glee and terror
arms outstretched to waiting socked feet
transporting us to safety
You whispered “Anni” and “Water”
your face a mask of teary sadness
and then
she placed drops of water
into chapped mouth
you settled into long peaceful
sleep until finally transported
into safety
Lieber Vater in the background
