Elucidating Questions

Spinel and Ruby

They are so small

Ruby so scared

Spinel so interested in it all

Tiny little babies,

Racing around their life.

I did it

He whispered to me, staring down in pride.

They’re beautiful, I tell him.

I get to see their whole lives!

I know.

Yes,

Spinel and Ruby,

They don’t yet know,

Just how they will have saved me.

Please stay.

Don’t go.
