girl shining and trembling and tall getting to be pooh
bear this halloween standing with brother ready
to walk the streets collecting joy from neighbours and
friends who stand in doorways and marvel at the girl
in the yellow costume stuffed with parka and pillow who
knows all the words of the song and waited months to
be able to wear it bouncing like tigger and wide-eyed
like piglet who flies at the end of a kite string on a
blustery day but now she is standing at the edge of the
carpet and practicing her “trick or treat” and I look at
the picture and
smile
