Was that you?


Was that you

the low morning

Sun, shimmering in the

glade,

smiling?


Was that you

a chill chasing up

my spine, a wild Orchid

in the breeze,

swaying?


Was that you

a brilliant

Red Admiral

fluttering

just two inches

from my face
dancing?


Was that you

my little

girl

always

nine years old

nine years old,

was that you?
