How can you be sure what she said?

She speaks another language.

I can tell by how she turns her head,

Looks in the direction she wants to go.

We would do well to listen to her

Her child’s heart knows its home.

What happens here on Red's Wrap is all over the map. There is no single theme, no overarching gripe, no malady of my own or others that dominates.

Nothing stays the same, here or anywhere. That's a good thing. Happiness. It's relative.
