She played in the leaves
Refusing to come inside
Just 5 more minutes
Under a shower of browns, yellows, and reds
She danced with the memory of warmer days and long games of hide and seek
5 more minutes of
Play
Joy
Smiles
Laughter
Confetti in her hair
Arms stretch wide
Love in her heart for everything grand and ordinary

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
