The Light-Stepped Girl
The light-stepped girl
standing before the mirror
slowly comes to realize
that the child is a woman is a child.
It is winter
and the light is low
and almost warm through the window.
This person is between herself,
recognizable, almost,
as if she were in line
with her past and her future.
For now she is a child-woman,
a little scared, a little proud,
a little cold.
