Nursery haiku
Mums
form a communion line—
the sacraments
Brio and coloured water.
Amongst
the coats and boots
a smile of wonder
tucked in a bright red hood.
Walking
home, lips sealed tight—
black marker pen
gives only name and number,
a
private universe, clutching
bag and bunny,
hot hand gripping mine.
