Where It Begins
A poem about the first image carried by youth.
Youth begins
with untied shoes,
with plans made loudly,
and the ordinary hour
leaning closer
to listen.
In the street before evening,
it ran ahead of its own name.
- Mira Vale

A Trace
A quieter poem about recognizing youth in a small detail.

inside sun on school steps,
small enough
to miss,
strong enough
to change the room.
No one had to announce it.
The heart understood.

the day did not become simple.
It only grew honest,
clear at the edges,
carrying its weather
with a steadier hand.
