I walked up the steps
in wonder

Autumn leaves covered
by the little girl's red shoes

A glimpse of youth
next, in vibrance
I flew away, not wanting to loose
my moment

Her frivolous lace dress
smiled at me

I felt connected
in an absolute no end stand

Packed in a box
ready to undo loneliness
with her
this other human being
