Baby


February 24, 2010. Dutton Drive. Dallas, Texas.

Sometimes you find things exactly when and where you expect to find them. When I entered my late mother’s house, I expected to find this old baby doll of hers in a drawer in a closet in what used to be my bedroom. And there it lay.

    Cindy, I reckoned it would speak to that part of you that listens to the Brothers Quay.

    It does. That part and the other parts, too.

    Sheila, when you return be careful not to lean over her – she’ll have yer hair!

    She gets up in the night and walks, and her bare little feet make a sound like the clicking of a dog’s claws on a wooden floor.
