after much twirling
crashing down into the grass
giggling
you said your back was itchy
can i take my dress off?
we said you could
since you asked
please
since we were in the backyard
relatively shielded.
you leaped back into the yard
shoulder blades like baby wings
undies ballooning on your little body
legs and arms longer than they were
even yesterday.
a while later
we gathered your found treasures
crystals, dried leaves, so many feathers
look how beautiful
plopped you in the bath.
you emerged so clean
skin calm
baby wings tucked into your flower gown.
