sitting on the bridge

Here is the river
that MasterM built dams across

and here is the island
that MissM sat on in the heat of summer

and this is the bridge
that Poppy fell off, into the pools below.

They were not there today
but I was
and the river looked beautiful
in the afternoon sunshine
and I thought of them
and smiled.

  8. Oh, really, Alice. I am feeling very delicate at the moment, and this isn't helping.

    More woodcuts, if you don't mind.
