Painted, wooden, grinning dolls
One inside another
Inside another
Inside another.
Twist to separate the biggest doll,
Top half from bottom half.
Then find someone similar inside her.
Twist, set aside and repeat
And repeat,
Until you reach the tiniest doll,
The first.
Amazing to think that all of those bigger, heavier, painted girls,
Contained little you.
