Sun slides down
Child at play
Lapping light

Every year it shrinks back
Every year it grows less
Till too soon
It will be
But a memory
Unless.

The broken ice

Of glass,
Pierces to melt
A pond’s
Cold heart.

The moment stretched.
“Gramma’s right,” she sputtered. “You’re too stubborn for your own good.”

Deep within.

One does not need a plan
To get lost
In this new town
She thought
Right before
She did.
