Wintereve 49.5

Child at Elbow
--for Howard

I am a child at elbow
my grandpa's maybe, yes
seven or eight, nose and eye
lashes caked with flour

Like this, he says punching.

At his elbow I'm too small
to land my fist against it
and so I blink, rub my hand
across my face and watch
watch a little longer.
