Small.

Today you blew bubbles out the back yard
Over dead grass and mud and old plants from our summer garden.

You wore pink.  Magenta.  And Hello Kitty mittens.

I could see you through the slider and a reflection of you behind yourself.

Ice danced on the bird bath;
we did not chip it away.

Your bubbles floated hard up and back toward your peering liquid bear-skin eyes and you blink...

Long,
dank lashes flutter on smooth baby cheeks - still growing.
