She turned to wave
As she tumble-skipped by
The sweep of her hand
May have rippled life
A million miles away.
A gesture to swallow
The hate of the world
Only a nightmare
Cheese before bed
As her mother pulled
Her along.
She missed, though may
Have launched the love
That coursed through
In a channel of lava
But had she retained
Her own?
What woman lay
With constant shoes
A thing of fear
As she sat there alone –
How had life changed
The view?
She missed the wave
But heat was not
Lost too.
The fourth one
Has many more
To do.
