today's flower

koharu fell from a certain equipment in the school
playground the day before yesterday. She hit her left
hip against the ground.

The doctor said her bone was all right and taping would
be an effective cure for her ache.

She was absent from school yesterday, because she found
it difficult to walk.

But this morning she said she would walk and go to school.
She was barely able to walk to school ---with my help.

I saw hana-mizuki, dog-wood, on the way to school.
I took a picture of it on my way home, thinking of koharu.
