We’re in the woods, just the two of us. I have on my best trainers, the ones with rainbow laces and the place on the back that Max chewed through when he was just a puppy. Your steps are bigger than mine but it’s a game – I try to jump into the hole your shoes leave behind. I’m a frog; I’m a kangaroo; I’m magic.
“My legs hurt” I tell you
“It’s just a bit further.”
You sit and pull me down beside you, point through the undergrowth “Do you see it?”
I shake my head and you pull me up, pushing towards a tree until I climb. “The pond, do you see the pond?”
From up here, I can. It is a fractured, jagged edge lying on the ground.
"When the world breaks apart, I can't fix it"
