Remote

Remote

A distant translation

being observed unaware,

based on a cropped

photo reference,

by

I don’t know who,

in the hallway of a school

surrounded by those

lucky enough

to be so near.

I replaced them all

with leaves

in a mild case

of jealousy.

Another grandchild sketched in this void, caused by the recent holiday.
