The oak swings

swiftly across the 

hinges. And light 

pours relentlessly in.


She steps forward

and sets off. A bird

chirping sing song tunes

brings out her laughter.


The tree limbs

wave and greet

her as she 

struts on.


A smile from the milkman. 

How do you do?

Mighty fine! 

As he swings from a vine.
