The moon
Is right there
At my first little steps

Smaller than my fingers
An angel
A fairy on a fence

My body’s
Strange new
Weightfulness
My mother’s
Floating Summer dress

Its flower
Yellow
Leaves my skin
The crackle lawn stings
The scent recedes
Of hairspray
Cigarettes
And white wine crisp
Oh, so far do I drift

I start to name them home.
