The Toddler's Fish
|
- toddler's finger
- touches the surface . . .
- out of the depths, a goldfish
|
|
|
toddler's lip out . . .
"the goldfish didn't bite,
it kissed your finger"
|
|
|
|
- reflection of my daughter
and me . . .
- horsefly taps the pond
|
|
|
- toddler's frown . . .
- winter ducks swim past
- her bread crumbs
|
- March picnic . . .
- her rubber ducks in a row
on the army blanket
|
|
|
- no crumbs left,
the girl continues to reach . . .
carp's open mouth
