Childhood
my swing:
suspended between
two old poplar trees
was a bridge of sorts
between the ground below
and the sky above
I pumped myself
To go higher, to soar
looking down
on the root cellar below
looking up
at the tree branches overhead
swinging fast and slow
discovering
new viewpoints
trying out new spaces
my swing:
teaching me to move
in the wider world
to accept its moments
of growth and change
