When she was young
(she's still young, painfully young)
I asked her if she needed help
with her dance shoes.
*No, no, I thought.
She can do it herself.*
And now,
three months after her boyfriend got hold of my number,
I wonder
if I ever thought
that she was older than she was.
She's kicking,
this little girl
inside this little girl -
(matryoshka,
matryoshka,
a limoges pram
for the matryoshka...!)
