A Babushka doll
Blushing cheeks, colorful clothes
Painted and pretty
*
A Babushka doll
Firm, smooth, perfectly fragile
Solidly crafted
*
A Babushka doll
Large then small and small again
More and more complex
*
A Babushka doll
The tiniest of them all
Cracked and forgotten
*
A Babushka doll
Nesting inside another
Hide from prying eyes
*
A Babushka doll
Falling out into my hand
Unloved and worn down
*
A Babushka doll
Newly cleaned and refurbished
Now revitalized
*
A Babushka doll
Tucked back in her resting place
A smile on her face
