– grandson minding – a senryu sequence |
a biggles reading-- my grandson walks through the flyscreen tadpoles in a peanut butter jar -- his blurred face nudist beach-- asks can he play with their dog flooded gutter-- invites me to the launch of his paper boat ring of pollen on her waxed table-- his initials frosty night-- spiderman visits grandma's bed |
rattles a stick down the picket fence-- a gap-toothed grin backyard night-- says he'll pick his mother a bunch of stars late for school-- jump step step jump step step down the footpath two-handed snap-- the dog misses its turn steep climb-- my grandson's voice from up ahead |
