At one year old, she is called to whip.
Tied to a stake and guarded from foraging
teeth, that roam her dead strip bed.

A centre stage leader, she is shaped;
her new buds rubbed. Under-studies dismissed.
At three the limbs are fixed
in ascending spiralled steps. She is coaxed,
with a mellisonant hum of appreciation.
