resisted…
reading a pen-pal
at the letter box

dance class
I tell her
I trained without her all week

dance class
before the music
a soft-shoe shuffle

deepening leaves
grandmother’s autumn
beyond her

needing teeth
this smile
should be framed

rainbow trout
plucking water-striders
to grow itself

wedding Oak
next generation
the kid’s tree house

first-light chorus
the first songs
for the first time

pen pal’s address
checked again
at the post box

office lift
the girl’s first day
over perfumed
