the yellow kite

the small child
thinks of nothing else with this
string in her hand
tethered to a yellow kite
aloft in the sky.
a splash of color in the blue.
there is no worry, no fear,
no thought about tomorrow.
it's just the unraveling
of the string, letting go.
but this lesson will be forgotten,
despite it being new.
