Story for Children in Which:

“poor” girl/boy, shoes
shoes catch moonbeams
“because” once upon
the moon near/far side
a shoe factory for
those who’d inhabit
the earth till shoemakers
flourished—and the girl/boy
eventually catch so many
beams they fly to the moon’s
side to hover and to
hear this: those who’ve
been crippled, those who
have not been allowed
to walk this earth
gather in one large
congregation of beams
on a blue night in
mild winter / does dale
ever find his way home,
does Seth believe we are
moved around by giants
manipulated by still
greater giants, does Zac
sing a foreign song,
does Sara still admire
the paintings of Vincente
Von Gauche?
