Poetry | August 2006

Six

By Ellen Anstey

she draws her girls in triangle dresses
on picnics and picking blueberries
holding hands

she listens close to circular talk
on radios and daddy’s mouth
scratching her scabbed elbow

she reads her square books
on pink beds and play porches
shrugging her shoulders

she wonders about the world
