2014, 7*, combe end, daughter, dog, girl, grass, looking, mother, passing, portrait, roads, sound, walking
across the top of the road
they arrive at the grass edge
to cross
the retriever the daughter and the mother
camber
toe-heel
stop
the dog sits
the girl looks ahead at the other side of the road
unmoving
her mother’s hand hovers above the child’s head as she turns to check for traffic
behind
left
ahead
her hand
gently alights on the girl’s head
the retriever pulls ahead and unwinds the lead clak clak
the camber
tips the girl
into a trot
a pause …
why not?
the mother
throws out her arm and trots too with
heavy hips
and leaps
when she reaches the grass verge

combe end wormhole: tag cloud poem IV – C
daughter & dog wormhole: tag cloud poem V – draft-ness
girl wormhole: through the window
grass wormhole: the straight line of stones marking the geometry / of death / settle all their own levels over time to make / a new rhythm
looking wormhole: ‘just popping down / to the shops’
mother wormhole: t w e n t y f i r s t c e n t u r y l i f e
passing wormhole: b / l / u / e / s / at a right-angle
roads wormhole: a splash of fresh water
sound wormhole: emerged
walking wormhole: deepening with each step
