who said ‘my legs are bored’
but not ‘my mind is tired’
and asked ‘why is the sky?’
that she may recollect the wonder
and the sense
that infinite is possible;
nor lose the wonder, nor forget
that possible is infinite
and gift her speech
and speak with love
This one, for my granddaughter, trades directly on her own rich use of language.
