The kids are skating solo now
and tying their own laces.
I'm left with space a scribbler needs
to study movements, faces,
particularities of scene,
what's vital and quintessence.
I need a fluid, clear conceit,
evaporating resin.
Their skating showed a subtlety
I'd missed, entranced with visions:
I'm shadow in their imagery,
facsimile of presence.
