on the park bench

a fledgling steals a strand

of her hair

little sparrow

from table to table

she scrounges

©️sbwright2023

a broken tooth

she forgets as she smiles

at the soup cup

©️sbwright2023

her childhood bane

she scoffs the discarded

toastie crusts

©️sbwright2023

sleeping upright again

she makes a wish through

the windscreen
