Illumination
ILLUMINATION
a school-ager swings
PAST the emerald trees
to crystalline stars
she aims high
with outstretched legs
heart pounding
she jumps landing
soundly on sensible feet
in the PRESENT
wise with solid roots
climbs the tree of logic
bumbling into the FUTURE
a scholar’s taken a beating
the ultramarine sky calls
she covers herself in yarn
colorizing stars with needles
