The Redheaded Girl
A door is drawn on the wall
by a redheaded child
the entrance to anotherside
She dusts angel snow
in shower powder
on the bathroom floor
Her family takes their annual New Year's
stroll along the beach
She leads a marching band
Shoe people line up
in the girl's room
They share escapades
Mother goes out grocery shopping
The house is woven
with mottled thread a spider's web
Voices in the library
her brother asks Who's there
The girl returns God
