Close one eye. 

Picture

Look along my pointing arm, out past my finger tip.

Picture

See Graham there, can see you see his feet? His dangling knobbly knees?

Picture

With leaves for hair, he's made himself a crown. He's sitting on the throne looking down.

Picture

A door bangs.

Picture

Boots clomp.

Picture

It's his yelling dad, yelling, "Graham get down."

Picture

"​ Graham, you get down here!"

Picture

"Graham, get yourself down here now!"

Picture
Picture

The briquettes fly and arch like shiny black sparrows.

Picture

​ The first hits close, the second too! 

Picture

But after three they start to drop.

Picture

​His old man knows the war is lost. ​

Picture

Gives up, stomps off.

Picture

See him?

Picture

See him?

Picture

See him clear now! The branch is moving with his jig of victory!

Picture

Graham's up the tree!

Picture

  Graham's up the tree... Where no adult can go.

Picture

He's standing in the sky, standing up for us below.
