Childhood

                                                                    -5-
                                                     "CHILDHOOD"

                                        As the drying carcass

                                    Bears it's teeth into the sand,

                                  I too, bear mine into your heart...

                                   And beg, to be more part of you.

                               As the dried carcass shatters into dust,

                                     So would the image of myself,

                                Whilst in my heart, bees flutter 'round 
                              Spring Flowers, l
ike unrozined violins....

                               Why are there so many walls...so many

                                       That you just can't let me in?!

Puberty, a

                        

"PUBERTY" a

                           Tired, I fall in the arms of the grass.

                           My grief limps away, far.....without me....

                           I can no longer hear the mourning bird,

                           For she has taken her feathers, and

                           Placed them in the earth, beside me.

                           I can no longer feel the pulsing of the Earth...

                           In this stillness of repose...I muse, "that night...

                           Is followed still by day...and Death...by Life".

                           I was facing the sea when the sky changed.

                           I never had time to say "I want to live!"

                                                    .....in this looking glass!


 

                           Now here I am...a hostage...in a world of reflections.

                           Here I am alone......ungroomed, unbloomed....unsoothed.

                           Should I be brave? Could I have faith.

                          Where is the grace....I knew was coming.....?

                          Where is the place from which I'm coming.

                          Am I returning...or am I going...

                          Who can show me the way to 'here'...

                          When all I remember is being....'there'.
