Day 215: Prose: I Didn’t Think She Noticed.

Half the time she comes to camp,
She’s too shy to say hello.
Whether she is my student or not.
Some days she shows me her flower she picked,
And others, she crumples it in her hand.
But once,
She gave it to me.
Today she was shy.
I thought I’d hold out for the next day.
But on the playground,
She remembered she liked me.
She lifted her hands to the sky and said,
Up!
So I placed my hands under her arms and lifted her to my hip.
She didn’t hold on.
She used both hands to rotate my necklace for 5 minutes.
