only because

my earliest memory is from my crib. a bed with bars and a blanket hung over the side. i remember a lightning storm with thunder that flashed outside my window. it flashed through the glass and lit up the center of my favorite green blanket (the one with trains and airplanes on it). i don't think i was scared, but i was listening. i listened through the changing light, one ear pressed against the mattress, one ear to the ceilingsky. calm only because the blanket was nearby. lightning and thunder above my head.

what do you remember?
