pure water
one step after next
unwashed movement
unwarranted
inside a room
in a moment’s hush
this summer day intrusion
presses
down
into the small of her back
hot skin sticky memory
discomposed
disposable
across time space
delicate
hands hold railing –
cold metal comfort
for a girl child
in this unforgivable heat.
