Fort McMurray



Picking my daughter up from ballet class during the McMurray winter...









Waiting by Doors

Ballet class over
the young girl
waited at the doorway.
Her long graceful neck
bent over a fantasy novel
of dragons breathing fire
on a brave knight.

Outside it was minus 25.
Her Dad arrived
late again.
She looked up with a coy smile
recognizing the dirty Cavalier
with the cracked windshield.
They talked of dance, school and fantasy
as they drove home
for dinner.
