Reappearance
What happened to the girl
in grey knickerbockers
and a red Norwegian sweater
who tossed ski poles
down on a dare
and danced like a snowflake
over moguls?
Who climbed every tree
and monkey bar
that had the impudence
to stand taller than she?
Who traveled Europe alone
to count ducks in Bruges
pick flowers near Zurich
find a Frenchman
and dance at Tivoli?
Today I found her-- laughing
inside a middle aged woman
who drove over a tall bridge
with great apprehension.
