[with thanks to Androo]
snapshot
a child on a wall
untouched a touch shaky on narrowness
plucking at air between
herself and a bush
as if to pull them –
herself and the bush –
closer to each other
unable to go that
far without stumbling
from the edginess
urging herself “Reach! Reach!”
turning towards people
and their beyond world
commands “Go away! All go!”
