dance class
I tell her
I trained without her all week

dance class
before the music

grandmother’s autumn
beyond her

touring the village
Mum always lived

a frog leaps into
the litter of stars

plucking water-striders
to grow itself

wedding Oak
next generation
the kid’s tree house

the first songs
for the first time

pen pal’s address
checked again
at the post box
