Off-
balance, into the wide wide world
she’s going to wow
on one foot:
she always does things the hard way. Down
of course, her mother imagines
her long bones breaking, her long
convalescence.
No harm done. It’s twilight
there’s music, a woman
holding her daughter’s shoes in her lap
and the ice almost exactly the color of medals.
But not yet.
Did you enjoy the the artible “Skate” from Laurel Blossom on OZOFE.COM? Do you know anyone who could enjoy it as much as you do? If so, don't hesitate to share this post to them and your other beloved ones.
