LD by Anne Selden [Annab]

LD

There is a paleness
in her movements-
more than the alabaster white flesh
reflecting it's weakness,
neurological I suppose.
But there are so many theories.
My magic child
who can't quite connect ideas the way most do.

But she is brilliant
hurling sparkling laughter
from that delicate self:

Nothing is easy.
Affectionate creature,
I can't expect anything
of you

except everything
you so eagerly do upside down and inside out.
My Magic Child
all sense gone wild.
