Poetry, Not in Motion

She's posted a picture of her son,

Sitting on a swing I assume is moving.

I wonder how this Spring day moves him.

The sun stretching

From his head to his toes,

As he arcs to and fro.

I'll never know.

It's a picture of her son.

Does he read, write, paint, build?

I'd like to see his photography.

Perhaps a picture of his mother

Sitting on a swing;

But it's him, sitting there, still.
