Sunday, olives

The ladder positioned between me and the tree
tells a hundred stories 

of running away to hide in branches 
where only the imagination would find me 

scrawling a plan on torn pieces of paper 
pretending its animals skin 

that I am a queen from olden times 
fallen into the recent age by chance 

this is childhood, now older 
with the tree in my hands 

instead of me in hers 
picking its sons and daughters 

how much have you both grown!
