Soap bubbles
From a children’s park
break a traffic rule
a surprise
the little girl
opens her hand…a shell
no breeze
children on branches
sway their legs
dim light in the bus…
a tiny finger
counts the stars
kindergarten
all in a row
small sandals
her crayons…
the red one smaller
the others
rural school…
the shy smiles of children
waiting for the bus
boy’s dorm
the glow of a firefly
in a bottle
carnival over…
a little girl’s sandal
among footprints
boy’s mouth open
watching the fish
eat the puffed rice
